+### Revisiting Edge AI: Opportunities and Challenges
+
+*Tobias Meuser, Lauri Lovén, Monowar Bhuyan, Shishir G. Patil *et al.**
+
+**TL;DR** — A multi-author position paper that revisits the state of edge AI, cataloguing deployment barriers and open research problems across hardware, networking, and software layers.
+
+**Why notable** — Brings together 19 leading researchers to synthesize the field's most pressing edge AI challenges, making it an authoritative reference for practitioners and researchers planning edge deployments.
+
+---
+
+### On Causality in Distributed Continuum Systems
+
+*Víctor Casamayor-Pujol, Boris Sedlak, Praveen Kumar Donta, Schahram Dustdar*
+
+**TL;DR** — Formalizes causal reasoning across cloud-to-edge continuum systems, providing a conceptual framework for tracking cause-and-effect relationships in highly distributed deployments.
+
+**Why notable** — Addresses a foundational gap in distributed systems theory that becomes critical when debugging or optimizing multi-tier edge–cloud pipelines.
+

+
+### Beyond Von Neumann in the Computing Continuum: Architectures, Applications, and Future Directions
+
+*Dragi Kimovski, Nishant Saurabh, Matthijs Jansen, Atakan Aral *et al.**
+
+**TL;DR** — Surveys non-von Neumann architectural paradigms—neuromorphic, in-memory, and dataflow computing—and maps them onto continuum computing use cases spanning edge to cloud.
+
+**Why notable** — Offers a rare cross-cutting view of how emerging hardware architectures reshape the design space for distributed Internet applications.
+

+
+### ARASEC: Adaptive Resource Allocation and Model Training for Serverless Edge-Cloud Computing
+
+*Dewant Katare, Eduard Marin, Nicolas Kourtellis, Marijn Janssen *et al.**
+
+**TL;DR** — Proposes ARASEC, a system that jointly optimizes resource allocation and on-device model training for serverless functions deployed across edge and cloud nodes.
+
+**Why notable** — Demonstrates measurable efficiency gains in a realistic serverless edge-cloud setting, directly informing how operators should provision heterogeneous serverless infrastructure.
+
+---
+
+### WebAssembly at the Edge: Benchmarking a Serverless Platform for Private Edge Cloud Systems
+
+*Giuseppe De Palma, Saverio Giallorenzo, Jacopo Mauro, Matteo Trentin *et al.**
+
+**TL;DR** — Benchmarks a WebAssembly-based serverless runtime on private edge cloud hardware, measuring cold-start latency, throughput, and isolation overhead compared to container-based alternatives.
+
+**Why notable** — Provides concrete empirical data that practitioners need when evaluating WebAssembly as a lightweight alternative to Docker for edge serverless deployments.
+
+---
+
+### HeROsim: An Allocation and Scheduling Simulator for Evaluating Serverless Orchestration Policies
+
+*Vincent Lannurien, Laurent d'Orazio, Olivier Barais, Stéphane Paquelet *et al.**
+
+**TL;DR** — Introduces HeROsim, an open simulator that models serverless function placement and scheduling policies across heterogeneous infrastructure, enabling fair policy comparison without live cluster costs.
+
+**Why notable** — Fills a practical tooling gap for researchers and platform engineers who need reproducible evaluation environments for serverless orchestration algorithms.
+
+---
+
+### Hierarchical Network Data Analytics Framework for 6G Network Automation: Design and Implementation
+
+*Youbin Jeon, Sangheon Pack*
+
+**TL;DR** — Designs and implements a hierarchical analytics framework that aggregates network telemetry at multiple granularities to automate management decisions in 6G deployments.
+
+**Why notable** — Bridges the gap between 6G vision and practical automation by providing a concrete architecture with implementation details and empirical evaluation.
+
+---
+
+### Digital-Twin-Driven End-to-End Network Slicing Toward 6G
+
+*Mahnoor Yaqoob, Ramona Trestian, Mallik Tatipamula, Huan Xuan Nguyen*
+
+**TL;DR** — Proposes a digital-twin framework that continuously models and reconfigures end-to-end network slices, enabling dynamic SLA enforcement across heterogeneous 6G infrastructure.
+
+**Why notable** — Connects digital twin technology to the operational problem of network slice management, a key requirement for 6G service assurance.
+
