The workshop

The Internet of Everything (IoE) model envisions integrating people, data, processes, and things, enhancing traditional systems to enrich human lives. A central challenge in IoE lies in evolving from simple "connections among things" to a dynamic network of "connections among people, processes, data, and things." As these connections become more complex, meeting the demands of future systems requires not only hybrid intelligence, where human and autonomous agents work collaboratively, but also fully Artificial Intelligence (AI) solutions capable of operating independently within the IoE ecosystem.

Goals and motivations

HIEMI unites scientific and industrial communities to discuss, propose, define, and evaluate models supporting hybrid and artificial intelligence in interconnected IoE ecosystems. Such approaches allow for adaptable systems where AI can assist human operators or operate autonomously to address complex challenges across various domains. The workshop also aims to create a collaborative research agenda, highlighting future directions in hybrid and artificial-only IoE models and implementations.

This rapidly advancing domain has garnered significant attention from academic and industry circles alike. Since 2020, over 1,700 publications have explored IoE-related concepts such as 6G networks, healthcare applications, and edge and fog computing architectures. By providing a platform for researchers and practitioners, this workshop encourages the exchange of innovative ideas, simulations, and real-world applications, inviting participants to tackle existing challenges and pose new ones within hybrid and autonomous IoE frameworks.
