Topics of interest span cloud systems, concurrent algorithms, formal verification, data science, parallel programming, multi-core architectures, large language models, and more.
Rachid Guerraoui opened the conference with an introductory speech that highlighted the significance of the event in strengthening scientific cooperation and advancing research in intelligent systems and digital transformation.
The first keynote talk was chaired by Madhavan Mukund and delivered by Swarat Chaudhuri, professor at the University of Texas and researcher at Google DeepMind.
Titled ' Evolution, Abstraction, and Discovery with Large Language Models,' the keynote explored the rapid evolution of Large Language Models (LLM) and the process of generating them into a target theorem.
Chaudhuri explored the use of AI in both mathematical and scientific discovery, emphasizing the role of large language models (LLMs) in simplifying complex reasoning processes. LLMs were highlighted as a valuable tool in facilitating empirical discoveries.
The first technical session, 'Verification,' featured two research presentations. The first, ' Reachability and Verification of Assertions for IoT Applications ' by Nagalakshmi S. R. and Meenakshi D'Souza, tackled challenges in verifying safety and correctness within Internet of Things (IoT) applications.
The session's second offering, 'Enhancing Numerical Invariants Learning with Bounded Reachability Analysis,' was presented by Wael-Amine and done by Ahmed Bouajjani, Boutglay, and Peter Habermehl. It focused on integrating bounded reachability techniques to improve the learning of numerical invariants in system verification.
Throughout the three-day event, participants will continue exploring themes related to networked systems, distributed computing, and machine learning.
NETYS 2025 serves as a platform to present original research contributions and discuss the latest trends and techniques, offering a dynamic forum for innovation, academic discourse, and cross-sector partnerships.

Morocco's 40 Under 40 Gala Launches with Star-Studded Celebration in Rabat

Rabat – An exceptional gala marked the inaugural edition of Morocco's 40 Under 40 in the Moroccan capital over the weekend, with the event celebrating a new generation of national and international talent. It brought together distinguished guests and recognized 40 Moroccans and members of the diaspora under the age of 40, selected for their outstanding achievements across a wide range of sectors. The gala took place on the evening of Saturday, May 31 in the presence of high-level officials and guests, but the focus remained squarely on the laureates, individuals under 40 who represent a future already in motion. Their achievements reflect personal success and a shared momentum to shape Morocco's trajectory at home and beyond its borders. Walid Regragui, head coach of the national football team, stepped onto the stage as guest of honor and brought the room to life with a message that resonated far beyond the technicalities of football. He spoke of belief, resilience, and collective purpose. Badr Boussabat, president of Morocco's 40 Under 40, opened the evening with words that captured the spirit of the initiative. 'It is not just a celebration,' he said. 'It is a moment to recognize that these young leaders are already forming meaningful partnerships between Moroccans and members of the diaspora.'
