<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">The convergence of AI and edge computing represents a new era of technological advances, where the immediacy of data processing and the sophistication of AI algorithms lead to new products and services. Industries are
rapidly adopting edge AI applications to streamline costs, automate complex processes, enhance decision-making capabilities, and refine operational efficiency. These applications are not just theoretical constructs; they are real-world solutions that are reshaping
industries. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">This workshop is dedicated to exploring the frontiers of the AI and edge computing synergy, focusing on the development of scalable and robust AI systems. The workshop is organized and supported by the dAIEdge
<b>European Network of Excellence on AI at the Edge</b>. In order to make the workshop more interactive and lively, there will be a demo session. In the latter, participants will be able to show live demos, either on-site or with a video, of their latest research
results. Participants in any session will be automatically invited to participate in and benefit from dAIEdge\u2019s network of excellence. There will be a best paper award.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Papers will be reviewed by the workshop's technical program committee according to criteria regarding a submission's quality, relevance to the workshop's topics, and, foremost, its potential to spark discussions about
directions, insights, and solutions on the topics mentioned above. Research papers, case studies, position papers and work-in-progress are all welcome. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"> Papers should be formatted for 8.5x11-inch paper. The length of the paper must be no more than 6 pages in the ACM double-column format (10-pt font), excluding references and appendices. Authors are suggested to use the
<a href="https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template">ACM Master article template</a>, with the \documentclass[sigconf,10pt]{acmart} option. Papers should be uploaded as PDF and not anonymized (review is single blind). At least one of the authors
must register at the conference and attend the workshop to present the paper if it is accepted. Accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library. There will be a best paper award with diploma and 300\u20ac (the latter will only be awarded if the authors
of the best paper are not part of the dAIEdge Consortium). The selection of the best paper will be made by the PC and the decision will be irrevocable.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
