ICSOC 2025 Symposium on Generative AI and Services

For more than two decades, service computing has been a key technical driver for revolutionizing the modern Web-based software industry, which has brought profound economic and societal transformations. The recent advance in artificial intelligence, in particular generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) and large models, provides an exciting paradigm shift in service computing. For instance, with large language models (LLMs), it is now possible to automate service composition, in both front end (e.g., service goals and service composition definition) and back end (e.g., service selection, service orchestration, and service deployment), using natural language prompts and LLM agents. While GenAI and LLMs provide unprecedented opportunities in service computing, there remain many open challenges due to several significant issues of these technologies such as non-transparent and opaque nature of LLMs, training data dependencies, and most seriously, hallucinations (e.g., non-existent services).  This symposium aims to provide a platform for researchers and industry practitioners to share recent advancements and to exchange views on addressing these challenges.

This symposium seeks original and high-quality submissions related to, but are not limited to, the following topics:

• LLMs and service composition

• LLMs and service optimization

• QoS-aware LLM agents orchestration

• Safety in LLMs and service composition

• Scalability in GenAI-based service composition

• Service augmentation, natural/multi-modal conversations

• Sustainability of GenAI and service computing

• Security and privacy of GenAI-based services

• Interpretability and transparency of GenAI-based services

• Fairness of GenAI-based services

• Semantics in LLMs and service computing

• GenAI services and edge computing

• Applications and use cases of GenAI and large model services

Submission and Publication

Authors are invited to submit papers (with a maximum length of 15 pages, including references) using (Springer LNCS format). Authors must upload their paper as PDF file using the easychair by selecting Symposium on GenAI and Services track.
Each paper will be reviewed by at least three members of the international program committee for ensuring high quality.Paper acceptance will be based on originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of presentation. All accepted papers will be included in the workshop proceedings published as part of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series of Springer.
At least one author of an accepted paper must register and participate in the symposium. Registration is subject to the terms, conditions and procedure of the main ICSOC conference to be found on their website: http://www.icsoc.org/
