Tutorial 1: Synthetic Data for Research and Validation: From Theory to Practice
Presenters: Mariana Vargas Vieyra (MOSTLY AI), Paul Tiwald (MOSTLY AI) and Mario Scriminaci (MOSTLY AI)
This tutorial introduces practitioners, cloud engineers, data scientists, and researchers to the emerging role of synthetic data—particularly AI-generated tabular data—as a foundational enabler of responsible, accessible, and secure data-driven workflows. Participants will explore how synthetic data enables ethical data sharing and analysis across diverse settings, including cloud-based systems. We will demonstrate how synthetic data can serve as a drop-in replacement for sensitive data, supporting privacy in machine learning development.
Through hands-on exploration of generation techniques, attendees will gain both conceptual understanding and practical skills to apply synthetic data to real-world use cases, such as privacy-preserving data sharing, ML model validation, and fairness-aware development. By the end of the session, participants will be equipped to integrate synthetic data into their workflows—advancing more agile, compliant, and trustworthy systems in both cloud and traditional environments.
Tutorial 2: Introducing sufficiency and sobriety in the Cloud-Edge Compute Continuum
Presenters: Klervie Toczé (VU University Amsterdam)
The goal of the tutorial is to introduce the concepts of sufficiency and sobriety, and why they are important to consider, especially in the Cloud-Edge Compute Continuum. It also presents tools for introducing these concepts in practice. The tutorial aims to foster discussions among the participants about the sustainability challenges encountered, the current approaches and how using the sufficiency and sobriety concepts can be performed in practice.
