Author Description

This book discusses recent research and applications in intelligent service computing in mobile environments. The authors first explain how advances in artificial intelligence and big data have allowed for an array of intelligent services with complex and diverse applications. They then show how this brings new opportunities and challenges for service computing. The book, made up of contributions from academic and industry, aims to present advances in intelligent services, new algorithms and techniques in the field, foundational theory and systems, as well as practical real-life applications. Some of the topics discussed include cognition, modeling, description and verification for intelligent services; discovery, recommendation and selection for intelligent services; formal verification, testing and inspection for intelligent services; and composition and cooperation methods for intelligent services.
