This session explores the Eclipse Arrowhead framework from a developer’s perspective, providing a deep understanding of its principles, usages, and components, alongside a practical tutorial for implementing complex System-of-Systems (SoS). It begins with an
overview of the framework, emphasizing its key principles, goals, and advantages for SoS automation. The session will delve into the framework’s core principles, such as service-oriented architecture (SOA), decentralized automation, interoperability, scalability, modularity, and security. Participants will learn about the essential components of Eclipse Arrowhead and the development of local clouds.

MYRTUS contributes to create new knowledge in the computing continuum domain, with methodologies and tools for node execution and processing portability over edge-fog-cloud, including dynamic and seamless orchestration. MYRTUS Design and Programming Environment will provide optimal workloads placement, featuring HW-SW device-specific optimizations for figures such as energy consumption and performance.

This tutorial presents a design process of defining , quantizing and executing on an FPGA platform a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model. This process presents various trade off on model accuracy, performance and power consumption. Students will learn teoretical concepts to understand these tradeoffs and pratical skills to exploit the potentials of the presented state-of-the-art tools and framework. Finally, a demonstration of a MYRTUS design methodology to achieve adaptivity in the execution of CNNs on edge FPGAs will be given.

Large amounts of data are being collected thorough the new generation of digital medical devices, from diagnostic equipment to implantable devices. Increasingly, this data is being used to make decisions (such as diagnoses) on patients, and hence its security and privacy must be guaranteed. Often, Cyber-Physical Systems are used: for instance, an implantable automatic defibrillator, which makes an automatic decision to deliver an energy electric shock to the heart of someone who is in cardiac arrest. However, current security techniques have a high overhead, which makes them difficult to implement on constrained devices: the efficiency of the security techniques must therefore be increased, to enable the technology to be deployed more widely.

The EU-funded SECURED project aims to increase efficiency by scaling up multi-party computation, homomorphic encryption, data anonymisation, and private and unbiased AI, which are key security and privacy technique used on medical devices. In this tutorial, we will demonstrate how secure computation techniques including homomorphic encryption can be adopted in constrained settings, and applied to CPSs and medical devices. Students will be introduced to the basic of secure computation and will practice with state of the art libraries implementing the presented techniques.
