  • 01 May 2024: Constraint 2024 Accepted at IEEE Bigdata 2024 and website online.

    • Overview

    The development of AI/Bigdata technology has increased human efficiency, accessibility, and safety. However, these AI/Bigdata technologies are often constrained by limitations in computing power, energy, data, and security risks in turn leading to a lack of equitable distribution of technology that is essential for promoting innovation and improving the lives of people. As such “advancing technology for humanity as a whole” requires addressing these resource constraints using a multi-disciplinary approach that involves advances in computing, energy, connectivity, data engineering, and environmental sustainability. As AI and bigdata systems become more prevalent, it is important to develop strategies that enable these systems to operate efficiently [1-3] and sustainably in a wide range of environments and applications [4]. The proposed workshop session aims to provide a common ground to showcase recent advancements in developing Bigdata/AI systems under various constraints, build collaborations across disciplines, share benchmarks, algorithms, and methods for resource-constrained AI systems, and inspire research in domains where AI is used to address those research constraints The broader objective of CONSTRAINT-2024 will be.

    • To investigate challenges and resource constraints that prevent development and access to Bigdata and AI Applications.
    • To promote research in developing equitable Bigdata systems and applications.
    • To provide opportunities for researchers from the area of the “Developing AI and Bigdata Technology Under Resource Constraints” community from around the world to collaborate with other researchers.
    • To foster the development of a broader multi-disciplinary framework to adopt AI systems in daily life.

      • Submission

      CONSTRAINT-2024 welcomes submissions on various scopes to contribute in developing bigdata and AI systems under a variety of resource constraints and to address resource constraints. We will particularly encourage studies that address either practical applications or improve upon resource constraints for a variety of AI/Bigdata systems in the field but now limited to
    • Creating new resources such as data, hardware, and protocols for AI/Bigdata systems, Algorithms and Applications
    • Optimizing data science systems, embedded platforms, and test beds for AI/Bigdata systems, Algorithms and Applications
