Join us, Tuesday, 24th of June, 2025, at 11:15 AM (UTC+3) for an exciting hybrid talk by Dr. Arnaud de La Fortelleon the topic: “From Big Data to Smart-Data: Rethinking the Edge-Cloud Data continuum for Next-Gen AI.”

This talk is part of the IEEE ITSS Distinguished Lecture Series (DLS) and will take place onsite at the IEEE IV 2025 Conference, in the Botticelli Room – Regular Session TuBT5, Grand Hotel Italia, Cluj-Napoca, Romania, and will also be accessible virtually via the link below.

The event is organized by the IEEE ITSS Germany Chapter, and technically co-sponsored by Heex Technologies, the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca, and the IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems Society.

Abstract:

As AI systems evolve toward greater autonomy and physical embodiment, the data problem grows more complex and critical. Traditional Big Data approaches fall short in enabling Agentic AI, where context-rich, decision-relevant information is essential. This talk explores a Smart-Data paradigm tailored for Agentic and Physical AI, prioritizing high-quality, real-time, and scenario-specific data to support adaptive, reliable, and resource-efficient next-generation AI systems.

Biosketch:

Dr. Arnaud de La Fortelle is co-founder and CTO of Heex Technologies. He designed the vision and the technology behind Smart-Data Management, a powerful way to address current and future Big Data limitations, especially needed for autonomous systems like Autonomous Driving, ADAS, Industry 4.0, or Smart Cities.

Arnaud has been professor and director (2008-2021) of the Center for Robotics of Mines Paris (PSL University). He was a Visiting Professor at UC Berkeley. He is an elected member of the Board of Governors of IEEE Intelligent Transportation System Society. He has been a member of several program committees for conferences and was General Chair of the IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium 2019 in Paris. He was a member, and then president of the French ANR scientific evaluation committee for sustainable mobility and cities. He serves regularly as an expert for European research programs.
