On September the 15th the Special Session on “Technologies for trustworthy sharing of enriched and interoperable data in IoT-based data spaces”, organized by the SEDIMARK project, has been held as part of the during the IEEE Conference on Standards for Communications and Networking (held in Bologna, Italy).
The Special Session aimed to bring together experts in the areas of data management, data sharing, IoT, trust and machine learning and provide a floor for discussions on how various technologies (e.g. machine learning, artificial intelligence, semantics, DLTs, etc.) can help towards automating and improving the management, curation, enrichment, interoperability and sharing of data in IoT-based data spaces.
Four papers were accepted after thorough review from a panel of more than twenty experts who provided their reviews over the nine manuscripts that were submitted. The four papers, titled "Towards Efficient Structured Description Generation for Data Marketplace Offerings", "A Decentralised DLT-based Offering Management and Asset Sharing Framework for Data Marketplaces", "Optimizing Deep Learning for Edge Deployment via Weight Statistics Aware Network Pruning", and "Quantifying Energy-Accuracy-Latency Trade-offs in Cloud-Offloaded and On-Device TinyML Inference on IoT Devices", were presented by Dr. Tarek Elsaleh (from University of Surrey, UK), Mr. Victor González (from Universidad de Cantabria, Spain), Miss Sneha Hanumanthaiah (from University of Surrey, UK) and Dr. Horia Alexandru Modran (from Transilvania University of Brasov, Romania) respectively.
This session has been an excellent opportunity to present some of the key results from the project as the papers presented were all describing some of the latest results and outcomes from the project. More than 20 people attended the session where a lively discussion (e.g. on integration with other frameworks like TM Forum APIs, or on availability of the datasets used for AI-enabled data processing techniques presented) was established both at the questions and answers time after each paper presentation and at the end of the session when an open discussion was organized by the session chair.
