Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The relationship between trusted service computing and artificial intelligence is deeply intertwined, as they mutually support each other's evolution. Trusted AI is essential for managing complex computing environments, while good AI drives improvements in service computing.

As service computing and AI applications continue to advance, the issue of trustworthiness has become crucial due to concerns about technical flaws, security, and other related issues. Trustworthiness in service computing encompasses user trust in service providers, service quality, and data processing. A reliable service computing system should offer services in a dependable manner while ensuring the security, privacy, and integrity of data. Similarly, achieving trustworthy AI involves considering dimensions such as algorithm security and robustness, model explainability, fairness, and privacy.

Considering the challenges posed by security and privacy in service computing, as well as the growing importance of trust in artificial intelligence, this Special Issue aims to explore new technologies for building trusted service computing systems and trusted AI. The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, machine learning, artificial intelligence, security, edge computing, computational modeling, data privacy, computer architecture, trusted computing, trusted networks, and data security.

With the rapid development of the web service market, the number of web services shows explosive growth. QoS is an important factor in the recommendation scene; how to accurately recommend a high-quality service for users among the massive number of web services has become a tough problem. Previous methods usually acquired feature interaction information by network structures like DNN to improve the QoS prediction accuracy, but this generates unnecessary computations. Aiming at addressing the above problem, inspired by the multigrained scanning mechanism in a deep forest, we propose a location-aware deep interaction forest approach for web service QoS prediction (LDIF). This approach offers the following innovations: The model fuses the location similarity of users and services as a latent feature representation of them. In addition, we designed a scanning interaction structure (SIS), which obtains multiple local feature combinations from the interaction between user and service features, uses interactive computing to extract feature interaction information, and concatenates the feature interaction information with original features, which aims to enhance the dimension of the features. Equipped with these, we compose a layer-by-layer cascade by using SIS to fuse low- and high-order feature interaction information, and the early-stop mechanism controls the cascade depth to avoid unnecessary computation. The experiments demonstrate that our model outperforms eight other state-of-the-art methods on MAE and RMSE common metrics on real public datasets. Full article
