The IEEE PerDL workshop aims to address all relevant technologies, researches and discoveries in the field of distributed and pervasive Deep Learning (DL) techniques. The usage of deep learning techniques is becoming more and more widespread and needs to be properly incorporated into pervasive and distributed computing and communication architectures, in order to foster a fully connected environment of intelligent systems. The great development of Internet of Things devices and applications is fostering more and more pervasive communication paradigms, but smart devices and gateways need further capabilities to become fully connected intelligent things. What is still lacking is an in-depth study of the modalities and technologies to properly integrate all deep learning aspects and algorithms in all possible distributed and pervasive systems, making them actual intelligent distributed systems. The main aim is to support fast and on-the-field DL-based computations that may foster novel and fast services in the near future contexts, such as smart cities, smart agricultures, smart health, smart distance education, smart automotive, industry 4.0, and many more. On the other hand, DL could help in finding out better distributed and parallel configurations to increase the performance of pervasive computing itself.

The objective of the PerDL workshop is to encourage the integration between the distributed and pervasive computing community and the deep artificial neural network community. This with the aim to foster the development of more and more widespread deep learning techniques in all computing and communication systems, as well as to increase pervasive computing performance by means of deep learning strategies.
