Talk Title: Trustworthy Quality Critical Distributed Computing
Abstract: Quality-critical computing is essential for a range of data and AI-driven industrial innovations, such as smart cities, digital twins, and early warning systems. It is pivotal in executing machine learning inferences, performing simulations, and enabling real-time data processing within interconnected environments. However, developing and operating quality-critical applications pose numerous challenges and can be particularly time-consuming, especially in environments involving federations of multiple providers, where service-level agreements are not always reliable. In this talk, we will explore innovative models for quality-critical programming, scheduling, and adaptation as part of a comprehensive solution encompassing various service layers throughout the development and operational lifecycle (DevOps). The proposed solution is designed with varying assumptions concerning the trustworthiness of infrastructure providers. It will be illustrated through examples from Digital Twin technology, environmental and earth sciences, and medical imaging.
Speaker: Dr. Zhiming Zhao is an Associate Professor and the Chair of the Multiscale Networked Systems (MNS) research group at the Informatics Institute of the University of Amsterdam (UvA). He leads the technical development of the Virtual Lab & Innovation Center (VLIC) within the European Research Infrastructure LifeWatch. His research is dedicated to creating innovative programming and control models for quality-critical systems on programmable infrastructures, including Clouds, Edges, and Software-Defined Networking. Supported by various EU and Dutch projects, his research team develops Digital Twinning solutions, Virtual Research Environments, and cloud automation tools to tackle data and computational challenges in industrial innovation and big data infrastructures. He is a Senior Member of the IEEE and serves as the Managing Editor of the Journal of Cloud Computing.
