Special Interest Grous (SIGs)
About SIG-AI (Artificial Intelligence)
The Services Sector has account for 79.5% of the GDP of United States in 2016. The world's most services-oriented economy, with services sectors accounting for more than 90% of GDP. The goal of S2 is to foster Building the Modern Services Industry through Services Computing technogies and business innovations.
This scope of Services Computing covers the whole lifecycle of services innovation research that includes business componentization, services modeling, services creation, services realization, services annotation, services deployment, services discovery, services composition, services delivery, service-to-service collaboration, services monitoring, services optimization, as well as services management.
The enabling technology suite includes Web services, service-oriented architecture (SOA), cloud computing, artificial intelligence, cognitive computing, big data, internet of things, edge computing, blockchain, mobile internet, metaverse, business consulting methodology and utilities, business process modeling, transformation and integration.
To rapidly respond to the changing economy, the Technical Activities board at the Services Society (https://ServicesSociety.org/) has created a set of Special Interest Groups (SIGs) as a platform for innovating the services technologies and applications.
The Special Interest Group on Artificial Intelligence (SIG-AI) promotes creative thinking, long-term visions, and innovative methodologies to respond to the emerging Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive technologies and applications. The supporting conference is the International Conference on AI and Mobile Services (AIMS, ai1000.org) and the International Conference on Cognitive Computing (ICCC, theCognitiveComputing.org).
SIG-AI Activities
The Special Interest Group on Artificial Intelligence (SIG-AI) covers all topics related to the development, publication, discovery, orchestration, invocation, testing, delivery, certification, and management of artificial intellgence (AI) applications and services.
Technical topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:
- AI for wireless & sensor networks
- AI for mobile & wearable computing
- AI for enterprises & eCommerce
- AI as a service
- AI for collaborative & social services
- AI and Machine-to-machine Interaction
- AI and Internet-of-things & edge computing
- AI and Cyber-physical integration
- AI and Bigdata analytics
- AI for Health and Services

The other part of topics for SIG-AI is Cognitive Computing, which is a sensing-driven-computing (SDC) scheme that explores and integrates intelligence from all types of senses in various scenarios and solution contexts. It is well beyond traditional human being's senses, which have four major senses (sight, smell, hearing, and taste) located in specific parts of the body, as well as a sense of touch located all over a body.
From process perspective, the key sensing elements of Cognitive Intelligence As A Service includes but not limited to producing, extracting, understanding, perceiving, responding, deciding, inferencing, correlating, propagating, billing, exchanging, trading, replicating, destroying, repairing sensing intelligences in scientific and business applications.
There are some initial thoughts about cognitive computing. For example, as defined on wikipedia, "Cognitive computing (CC) describes technology platforms that, broadly speaking, are based on the scientific disciplines of Artificial Intelligence and Signal Processing. These platforms encompass machine learning, reasoning, natural language processing, speech and vision, human-computer interaction, dialog and narrative generation and more."
In short, Cognitive Computing aims to cover all acts or processes of knowing, perceiving, judging, reasoning, and associating based on computing platforms and algorithms.
Topics of interest to include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Cognitive Sensing
- Cognitive Touch
- Cognitive Models
- Sensing Intelligence
- Internet of Touch
- Internet of Brain
- Cognitive Memory
- Cogntive Hardware
- Cognitive Platforms
- Cognitive Solutions
- Cognitive 5G
- Cognitive Cloud
