DESCRIPTION:Get the latest session information at
https://date26date-conference.com/programme#W05\n\n\nThe environmental
impact of digital infrastructures is becoming a critical concern as cloud
to edge systems proliferate at an unprecedented scale. The cloud–edge
continuum now accounts for a rapidly growing share of global energy
consumption and material use, driven by the deployment of data centers,
heterogeneous edge nodes, and networking equipment. Improving energy and
material efficiency across this continuum is therefore a major societal
challenge, directly linked to climate change mitigation, resource
depletion, electronic waste generation, and the resilience of global
supply chains. Eco-design principles and circular-economy approaches must
be revisited and extended beyond isolated electronic components to
encompass the entire cloud–edge continuum, including hardware, software,
and their interactions. Designers and system architects face significant
challenges in this context, notably the limited visibility of energy and
material footprints during the early design phases, the complex trade-offs
between performance and environmental impacts across cloud and edge
layers, and the difficulty of anticipating system life cycles. These
uncertainties are further amplified by dynamic workloads, evolving user
behavior, and rapidly changing business and deployment models. Addressing
these challenges requires new methodologies, metrics, and tools to assess
and optimize energy and material efficiency holistically across the
cloud-edge continuum.\n The objective of the workshop EMEC is to gather
experts from both academia and industry, covering a wide scope in the
environmental sustainability of electronics. The workshop is proposed and
organized by partners of the European projects EECONE and MYRTUS.
