From May 9-11, the CCF 18th International Conference on Service Science (CCF ICSS 2025) was held on the Xikang Road Campus of Hohai University (HHU). Vice President Chen Da attended the conference.
Vice President Chen introduced HHU's history and disciplinary construction and welcomed and cordially invited participating experts and scholars to engage in in-depth exchanges and collaboration.
During the invited report session, Abdelsalam Ali Helal, Member of the Academia Europaea and Professor from the University of Bologna, Italy, delivered a report titled IoTility: Unleashing the Utility of Internet of Things through Microservices Architectural Extensions. In the report, he proposed self- and peer-conscious microservices and the safety-oriented programming model IoTranx and explored how to enhance the utility of IoT through microservices architectural extensions. Athman Bouguettaya, Foreign Member of the Academia Europaea and Professor from the University of Sydney, Australia, delivered a report titled Detecting Fake Images as a Service. In the report, he introduced a metadata-based crowdsourced image forgery detection method that effectively identifies fake images by tracking image evolution through version tree structures. Guo Minyi, Foreign Member of the Academia Europaea and Professor from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, delivered a report titled Cloud-Native Architectures. In the report, he provided an in-depth analysis of the cloud-native architecture concept, key technologies, and challenges and showcased these technologies' potential for applications in AI reasoning, graph computing, scientific computing, and other fields. Liu Yunxin, IEEE Fellow and Professor from Tsinghua University, discussed the latest advances in end-device AI in his report On-Device AI: Empowering Every Device with AI, focusing on how to achieve efficient AI reasoning on resource-constrained devices and recent research on how to utilize the heterogeneous computing resources and optimize the memory usage for large models. James Wang, Chair of DAMA China Region and Editor-in-chief of the Data Management and Digital Transformation series, delivered a report titled Data for AI: What We Should Do, Challenges and Opportunities. He explored AI development from a data-driven perspective, analyzed challenges in data quality, privacy protection, and data governance, and forecasted the development prospects of synthetic data, federated learning, and edge AI.
The conference also featured specialized forums focusing on the intelligent industrial internet technology, top conferences and journals presentation sessions, vertical domain AI and large-scale model services, and industrial software and talent development.
The conference was hosted by the China Computer Federation (CCF) and organized by the CCF-TC Service Computing and Hohai University. Nearly 200 experts and scholars from approximately 40 universities, research institutions, and enterprises across 10 countries and regions, including China, Italy, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Kazakhstan, and Macao (China), participated in the conference.
