Speaker: Cristian Klein (Elastisys and Umeå University, Sweden)

Title: Adaptive Cloud-Native Architectures: Engineering for Resilience, Efficiency, and Sustainability from Core to Edge

Abstract: Cloud-native systems have grown too complex for elasticity alone to ensure reliability and sustainability. This talk examines adaptivity—systems that adjust scale and behavior using control-based mechanisms. Examples include graceful degradation to preserve core functionality, adaptive circuit breaking to prevent cascading failures, and hardware-level QoS tuning to optimize shared resources. Together, these approaches improve resilience, efficiency, and sustainability. I will also connect these ideas to edge computing, where control must balance local autonomy with global coordination.

9:00-10:00 — Keynote 2

Speaker: Ada Diaconescu (Telecom Paris, France).

Title: Multi-scale Adaptive Designs: dealing with Complexity and Surprise.

Abstract: How to handle escalating complexity while adapting to unexpected change? And how to compromise between short-term efficiency and long-term survival? This presentation will examine how multi-scale adaptive systems, with various design styles, may help. It will bring a generic perspective distilled from cross-domain examples, from technical and living systems to ecosystems.

Speaker: Grégory Lebourg (OVHCloud, France)

Title: AI impact on the environnent: from projections to remedies.

Abstract: With the boom of AI and in particular the hype aroung Gen AI, the materiality of the cloud becomes even more of a concern. This presentation will guide you through the maze of the mid-term trends as far the data centers utilities demand, their CO2e emissions and craving for minerals. Some mitigation levers implemented by OVHcloud will illustrate how the digital industry can reduce its impact on the environment while embracing the AI revolution.
