Post Assessment Summary for EDGE-Well 2025 

We launched the maiden version of EDGE-Well workshop with IEEE PerCom 2025. EDGE-Well was organized as a half-day workshop on March 21, 2025.

This version of EDGE-Well had 4 Organizing Committee Members — 

• Dr. Sougata Sen (BITS Pilani, Goa, India) - General Chair

• Dr. Sourav Kanti Addya (NIT Surathkal, India)

• Dr. Dheryta Jaisinghani (University of Northern Iowa, USA)

• Dr. Kasthuri Jayarajah (New Jersey Institute of Technology, USA) 

The technical program had two keynote talks; one invited talk and five research paper presentations. Our keynote speakers, Prof. Sajal K. Das (Missouri University of Science and Technology, USA) and Dr. Nirupam Roy (University of Maryland, College Park, USA), talked about cutting-edge research being conducted at the intersection of edge computing and artificial intelligence with a special focus in health care domains. Dr. Das enlightened us with their contributions to using federated learning for systems and theory development for personalized health management solutions, specifically focusing on survival analysis.  Dr. Roy continued to add to our learnings by talking about his research group's amazing contributions to spatial sensing for various edge applications.

We also had the privilege of listening to Dr. Shantanu Pal (Deakin University, Australia), who discussed his contributions to developing trustworthy systems for the Internet of Things. 

The workshop has five accepted and presented papers. 

• Accelerating Medical Image Analysis on Edge Devices: A Study with MobileOne Architecture

• CITRUS: Cost and Ischemia Time Reduction using Urban Air Mobility Solutions for Organ Transport

• Can A Smartwatch Tell, If You Are Brushing Your Teeth Correctly? 

• SensorGPT: A New Paradigm for Synthetic Sensory Data Generation

• OPTIMIST: Opportunistic Federated Transfer Learning for Mobile Devices Using Sequential Independent Subnetwork Training, 

We had a rigorous peer review conducted by a competitive technical program committee from across the globe. Each paper received three reviews. Papers from the organizing committee were not reviewed by this committee; instead, the overall workshops co-chairs had a separate conflict of interest track for such papers whose review process was solely managed by the overall workshops co-chairs.  Our TPC members were - Akhil Mathur (Meta AI), Anh Nguyen (University of Montana, USA), Anurag Satpathy (Missouri University of Science and Technology, USA), Hai Truong (Singapore Management University, Singapore), Kristof Van Laerhoven (University of Siegen, Germany), Lakmal Meegahapola (ETH Zurich, Switzerland), Manasa Kalanadhabhatta (University of Massachusetts Amherst, USA), Meera Radhakrishnan (University of Technology Sydney, Australia), Mukulika  Maity (Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology Delhi, India), Rohit Verma (Intel Labs, India), Soumyajit Chatterjee (Nokia Bell Labs, Cambridge, United Kingdom), Tahera Hossain (Nagoya University, Japan), Tanya Shreedhar (TU Delft, Netherlands), Thivya Kandappu (Singapore Management University, Singapore), Varun Mishra (Northeastern University, Boston, USA), Vignesh Subbaraju ( A*STAR Singapore).
