Services Conference Federation (SCF 2025)
International Conference on Cognitive Computing (ICCC 2025)
https://www.servicessociety.org/iccc , September 27 - 30, 2025, Hong Kong, China
Theme: Services Agent for Cognitive Computing
Introduction of ICCC
The International Conference on Cognitive Computing combines technical aspects of cognitive computing with service computing, focusing on all of cognition, computation, and business to understand and engineer effective value-creation. ICCC aims to cover all acts or processes of knowing, perceiving, judging, reasoning, and associating based on computing platforms and algorithms. ICCC calls the entire services computing community to work toward realizing "Sensing Intelligence as a Service".
Sponsored by Services Society and Springer, ICCC 2018 was successfully held on June 25 - June 30, 2018, in Seattle, USA. ICCC 2019 was successfully held on June 25 - 30, 2019, in San Diego, USA. ICCC 2020 and ICCC 2021 were successfully held virtually over the Internet. ICCC 2022 and ICCC 2023 were successfully held on December 10 - 14, 2022, in Hawaii, USA, and December 17 - 18, 2023, in Shenzhen, China. ICCC 2024 was successfully held on November 16 - 19, 2024, in Bangkok, Thailand. In 2025, we will celebrate our 2025 version of gathering, to strive to advance the largest international professional forum on cognitive services.
ICCC 2025 is a member of the Services Conference Federation (SCF). SCF 2025 will have the following 10 collocated service-oriented sister conferences: 2025 International Conference on Web Services (ICWS 2025), 2025 International Conference on Cloud Computing (CLOUD 2025), 2025 International Conference on Services Computing (SCC 2025), 2025 International Conference on Big Data (BigData 2025), 2025 International Conference on AI & Multimodal Services (AIMS 2025), and 2025 International Conference on Metaverse (METAVERSE 2025), 2025 International Conference on Internet of Things (ICIOT 2025), 2025 International Conference on Cognitive Computing (ICCC 2025), 2025 International Conference on Edge Computing (EDGE 2025), and 2025 International Conference on Blockchain (ICBC 2025).
As the founding member of the Services Conference Federation (SCF), the first International Conference on Web Services (ICWS) was held in June 2003 in Las Vegas, USA. Meanwhile, the First International Conference on Web Services - Europe 2003 (ICWS-Europe 2003) was held in Germany in October 2003. ICWS-Europe'03 is an extended event of the 2003 International Conference on Web Services (ICWS 2003) in Europe. In 2004, ICWS-Europe was changed to the European Conference on Web Services (ECOWS), which was held in Erfurt, Germany.
To celebrate its 22-year-old birthday, SCF 2025 will be held on September 27 - 30, 2025, in Hong Kong, China.

Topics
The technical program of ICCC 2025 will include a Research Track, an Application Track, and a Short Paper Track. The ICCC 2025 tracks seek original, UNPUBLISHED research papers reporting substantive new work in various aspects of cognitive computing technologies and applications. Research Track papers MUST clearly indicate their contributions to the field of cognitive computing technologies, applications, and solutions. All papers MUST properly cite related work in the field, such as those published in the proceedings of ICWS, SCC, CLOUD, BigData, METAVERSE, EDGE, ICIOT, ICCC, AIMS, ICBC, SERVICES, APSCC, ECOWS, and related journals including IJWSR and IJBPIM (see Literature Recommendations page).
ICCC 2025 covers state-of-the-art technologies and best practices of cognitive computing, as well as emerging standards and research topics which would define the future of cognitive computing. Cognitive Computing 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 a process perspective, the key sensing elements of Cognitive Intelligence As A Service include but are 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."
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
- Cognitive Hardware
- Cognitive Platforms
- Cognitive Solutions
- Cognitive 5G
- Cognitive Cloud
- AIGC for Cognitive Computing
