SAREF-based Ontology for Distributed AI Workflows across the Edge-Fog-Cloud Continuum

The paper introduces a SAREF-compliant ontology designed to represent distributed AI workflows across edge, fog, and cloud environments. It extends the SAREF4SYST ontology with concepts for AI pipelines, executable jobs, resources, deployment constraints, and communication links, creating a unified semantic model for both AI workflows and heterogeneous infrastructures. Evaluation through smart‑grid energy service scenarios and competency questions demonstrates successful deployment, reasoning, and workload adaptation, achieving 90‑100% deployment success and sub‑80 ms orchestration times.

Where Should Agents Live? Energy-Memory Characterization of Agentic AI for the Edge-Cloud Continuum

The paper introduces agentic-eCAL, an extension of the Energy Cost of AI Lifecycle metric to evaluate multi‑agent AI workflows across the edge‑cloud continuum. By combining a two‑rate energy model with OSI‑layer transport analysis, the authors quantify that inter‑agent text transfer accounts for only 0.25% of total workflow energy, highlighting that the main energy cost lies in additional inference and context processing triggered by communication. The study uses extensive GPU benchmarks on NVIDIA A100/H100 with 16 open‑weight models and 8 orchestration topologies to validate the metric and explore placement implications.

Towards Agentic Cloud Engineering: Graph and Loop Engineering with a Zero-Trust Agent Harness

The paper introduces Agentic Cloud Workflow Engineering, a framework that converts natural‑language agentic cloud‑engineering tasks into validated code repositories and verified cloud deployments. It separates graph engineering for long‑horizon workflow progression, loop engineering for bounded diagnosis and recovery, and agent harness engineering for zero‑trust execution. Experiments on Google Cloud show that executions either produce a verified deployment or an auditable terminal failure within bounded recovery limits.

SemanticXR: Low Power and Real-time Queryable Semantic Mapping with an Object-Level Device-Cloud Architecture

SemanticXR is a device‑cloud system that enables real‑time, open‑vocabulary semantic mapping and querying for XR applications while respecting power, bandwidth, and memory limits. By treating semantically identifiable objects as first‑class units, the system coordinates communication, execution, and memory across device and server, achieving a 2.2× faster server‑side mapping latency and keeping upstream bandwidth below 2.5 Mbps. On the device, an object‑level sparse local map with incremental updates delivers sub‑100 ms query latency for up to 10,000 objects, supports tens of thousands of objects within a 500 MB footprint, and adds only about 2 % to idle power.
