Challenges in Services Computing and Future Trends

With the rapid advances of IT technologies, such as computing paradigms and systems, big data analytics, artificial intelligence, sensing devices, and semiconductor chips, it is anticipated that future services can be much more effective to provide diverse applications with various demands. These services are expected to be trustworthy, highly adaptable, context and situation aware, and capable of operating autonomously and in mobile environments. . To address these challenges, it is necessary to incorporate the needed enabling technologies in developing and providing future services with complex and dynamic requirements from service users. In this keynote, these challenges and possible directions on developing future services will be discussed.
