Between 2.7.2024 and 5.7.2024 CERCIRAS Closing conference (https://www.cerciras.org/action-events/cerciras-closing-conference/) took place at the University of Maribor, Faculty of Electrical Engineering and computer science, hosting several young researchers, educators and engineers from academia and industry, travelling from all over Europe.
CERCIRAS is a COST ACTION CA19135 (https://www.cerciras.org/), described as Connecting Education and Research Communities for an Innovative Resource Aware Society, aiming to form a community around resource-aware computing, both for classical resource trade-offs, such as energy vs. performance, but also incorporating novel concepts, such as development time and effort, resilience, or sustainability over product or process life cycles. COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology) is a funding organization for research and innovation networks. The Actions help connect research initiatives across Europe and beyond and enable researchers and innovators to grow their ideas in any science and technology field by sharing them with their peers.
The goal of the closing conference, which included over 30 participants, was to discuss solutions and open problems in the area of resource-aware computing, including techniques involved in resource measurement, monitoring, controlling, and trade-offs including the full scope of techniques from background theory to the application of innovative solutions in different domains.
