HiPEAC 2026: Reclaiming European Digital Sovereignty 👉 eetimes.com/hipeac-2026-re…
The lead article on @eetimes today is Pablo Valerio's indispensable breakdown of Nextcloud CEO Frank Karlitschek's keynote talk at #HiPEAC26. As Pablo notes, HiPEAC keynotes usually focus almost exclusively on technical issues, but it is becoming harder to ignore that information technology is not neutral (a point also made by Timothy Roscoe in our conversation at #ACACES25).

In this #DiscoverUS webinar, renowned professor Nikil Dutt (@UCIrvine) argues that cyber-physical human systems need to shift to a cross-layer, ‘mindful AI’ paradigm to enable continual runtime learning and evolution, allowing the system to adapt dynamically and maintain overall resilience. He discusses how the mindful AI paradigm is characterized by computational self-awareness through introspection (i.e. modelling and observing its own internal and external behaviours) combined with both reflexive and reflective adaptations via cross-layer physical and virtual sensing and actuations applied across multiple layers of the system abstraction stack. He ends by considering the challenges and opportunities associated with generative and agentic AI, and how mindful AI principles and cross-layer self-awareness might be applied to address these challenges.

Next #DiscoverUS webinar: 'From ICOS to EdgeHarbor: Evolving European research into a production‑ready edge‑to‑cloud platform'

Edge‑to‑cloud computing, AI‑driven workflows, and distributed systems require platforms that can seamlessly bridge research innovation with production‑grade capabilities. The Europen project @ICOS_Horizon set out to address this challenge by designing an open, modular, and programmable continuum infrastructure capable of orchestrating heterogeneous resources across cloud, edge, and IoT environments.

Building on this foundation, Eviden has developed EdgeHarbor, a robust, scalable, and secure cloud to edge orchestration platform that can be deployed in real‑world environments, enabling organizations to manage distributed workloads, integrate AI at the edge, and operate complex multi‑site infrastructures with production‑level reliability.

Join Eviden's Guillermo Gómez and Lara Lopez on 24 February to learn about EdgeHarbor's architectural evolution, the lessons learned from large‑scale experimentation, and the path towards turning a European research initiative into a viable product offering.

At #HiPEAC26, Pablo Valerio (@eetimes) caught up with Teresa Cervero García (@BSC_CNS) and Stefan Wallentowitz (Hochschule München University of Applied Sciences) to find out about the impact AI is having on hardware design, and its potential (along with open standards such as RISC-V) to bring hardware design within reach of more people

A look back at the last day of #HiPEAC26: a strong programme, kicked off by a fantastic keynote talk by Deming Chen (@UofIllinois) that really energized the community. A full day of workshops, from open EDA to compilation for the next generation of computing systems. A great atmosphere, with networking opportunities for early-career and senior researchers alike. All in a stunning venue, @ICEKrakow.
