Future Trends of Strategic Advances of Services Computing Using AI Technologies
Friday September 10, 16:30 - 17:50 UTC

It is obvious that AI will be one of the most influential driving forces to advance the services computing technologies in various application domains. Recent research progress in these areas has been very rapid due to many important accomplishments in computing paradigms and systems, smart and big data, internet and mobile networks. sensing devices, and semiconductor technologies. With the continuing rapid progress in these areas and emerging technologies, such as quantum computing, it is expected that effective applications of AI technologies will dominate the advances of services computing.

In this session, we will have a group of distinguished panelists to discuss a number of aspects of this topic, including effective incorporation of AI in smart resilient manufacturing, development of secure web services against dynamic and powerful attacks, and some real-world examples.
