The Faculty of Computer Science at UNamur is inviting you to participate 
in the 2021-2022 Francqui Chair session, which will take place from 29 
to 31 March 2022.


    Distributed Systems - The next level

As humans, things, software and AI continue to become the entangled 
fabric of distributed systems, systems engineers and researchers are 
facing novel challenges. In this talk, we analyze the role of IoT, Edge, 
and Cloud, as well as AI in the co-evolution of distributed systems for 
the new decade. We identify challenges and discuss a roadmap that these 
new distributed systems have to address. We take a closer look at how a 
cyber-physical fabric will be complemented by AI operationalization to 
enable seamless end-to-end distributed systems.

Invited speaker : *Professor Schahram Dustdar* - Distributed Systems 
Group, TU Wien, Austria

chief-scientist.

He is founding co-Editor-in-Chief of ACM Transactions on Internet of 
Things (ACM TIoT) as well as Editor-in-Chief of Computing (Springer). He 
is an Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Services Computing, IEEE 
Transactions on Cloud Computing, ACM Computing Surveys, ACM Transactions 
on the Web, and ACM Transactions on Internet Technology, as well as on 
the editorial board of IEEE Internet Computing and IEEE Computer. 
Dustdar is recipient of multiple awards: IEEE TCSVC Outstanding 
Leadership Award (2018), IEEE TCSC Award for Excellence in Scalable 
Computing (2019), TCI Distinguished Service Award 2021 by the IEEE 
Technical Committee on the Internet (TCI) (2021), ACM Distinguished 
Scientist (2009), ACM Distinguished Speaker (2021), IBM Faculty Award 
(2012). He is an elected member of the Academia Europaea: The Academy of 
Europe, where he is chairman of the Informatics Section, as well as an
