Building upon existing and rapidly evolving technologies and architectures in the field Big Data, IoT, continuum computing, Artificial Intelligence, HCI, etc, new paradigms have emerged such as the Web3.0, the Metaverse, and the Spatial Web. These new and complementary paradigms are moving at speed light from fantasy literature to reality, and probably opening a new thread of opportunities and challenges for existing and emerging industries and our society. How does these 3 terms/paradigms relate to each other? What is the State of the Art in Europe and all over the world? What is our European Vision, roadmap, and Strategic Agenda?

This is an explorative session that does not intend to answer all these questions, but at least to identify from a techno-business-society perspective key projects, activities, and communities in this field, with the objective of joining forces in a defining a common vision, roadmap and plan for adoption combining technology, economics, regulation, standardisation and societal aspects. The session is led by active players in both AIOTI and BDVA communities.
