ICSOC 2026

The 24th International Conference on Service-Oriented Computing

Symposium on AI for Service Engineering Education

Topic: New Mode of LLM & Agent-Driven Talent Cultivation for Software Service Engineering

With the rapid development of artificial intelligence, Large Language Models (LLM) and intelligent Agent technologies have profoundly reshaped the industrial ecology of software service engineering, posing new requirements and challenges for professional talent training in the field. Traditional education systems can no longer fully meet the demands of the innovative talents of the modern software service industry in the AI era.

With the theme New Mode of LLM & Agent-Driven Talent Cultivation for Software Service Engineering, this symposium brings the educators of universities, industrialists, technical experts, and educational practitioners together. It focuses on explorations of professional training innovation in the AI era, including the reconstruction of curriculum systems integrated with LLM and agentic services, industry-education integration mechanisms, GenAI tool supported educational practice, the construction of core competency frameworks for software service engineering, and the collaborative education model between academia and industry.

Through discussions and experience sharing, the symposium aims to build a high-level exchange platform for production, education, and research, bridge the gap between education and industry, explore standardized, replicable, and innovative talent cultivation models, and empower the high-quality development of professional talents for software service engineering in the AI era.

Topics of Interest

The symposium will invite renowned international scholars and industry elites to deliver keynote speeches and invited talks related to, but are not limited to, the following topics:

  • Agentic services for education and learning
  • Metaverse AaaS (Agent-as-a-Service) for education
  • Embodied teaching assistants and virtual instructors
  • Agentic services for smart MOOCs and open metaverse courses
