## Workshop Description
81+
82+
WebAssembly (Wasm) is emerging as a key execution technology for cloud-native, edge, and next-generation (6G) systems. Its strong isolation guarantees, portability across heterogeneous platforms, and low execution overhead make it well suited for secure service orchestration, serverless computing, and edge intelligence in future networked environments.
83+
84+
While innovation in WebAssembly is largely driven by industry-led ecosystems and open source communities, there is also a growing academic community investigating its fundamental aspects such as **performance**, **security**, **orchestration**, and integration with **edge** and **6G infrastructures**. Interaction between these communities, however, remains limited, despite their shared interests and complementary expertise.
85+
86+
This workshop aims to provide a focused forum that brings together **academic** and **industrial** perspectives on WebAssembly and cloud-native execution for 6G and edge systems. By enabling the presentation of **peer-reviewed research** contributions alongside **invited industrial experiences**, the workshop will foster knowledge exchange, highlight open research challenges, and stimulate collaboration.
87+
88+
The EuCNC & 6G Summit is the perfect host for this because of its strong history of bridging the gap between academia and industry. During EuCNC 2025, WebAssembly exhibits also garnered significant interest from visitors, specifically for its potential role in edge and 6G infrastructures.
89+
The workshop is supported by the Bytecode Alliance, providing a concrete bridge between academic research and the industrial WebAssembly ecosystem.
90+
91+
The workshop programme will include:
92+
* **Scientific technical sessions** with peer-reviewed workshop contributions, organised
93+
into thematic sessions related to WebAssembly, cloud-native execution, edge
94+
computing, and 6G systems.
95+
* **Invited talks** from industry and ecosystem experts, focusing on real-world deployments,
96+
architectures, and lessons learned.
97+
* **An invited keynote talk** from a recognized expert in the field
98+
* **A panel discussion** bringing together academic and industrial speakers to discuss
99+
research challenges, standardisation aspects, and future directions.
100+
101+
