<span style="font-size:11pt; font-family:'Times New Roman'; color:#000000; font-weight:400">Applications involving voluminous data but needing low-latency computation and local feedback require that the computing be performed as close to the data source as
possible - often at the interface to the physical world. Given the growth in such application scenarios and the recent advances in computing hardware, algorithms and techniques, machine learning and inference at the edge are unfolding and growing at a rapid
pace. The resulting diversity in edge-computing hardware and software framework in terms of capabilities, architectures, and programming models poses several new challenges. The goal of this workshop is to gather the community working in three broad areas: </span></p>
