Emerging LLM-driven applications, tools, and ecosystem platforms are shaping a transformative future for services computing, where pervasive human-delegated autonomous intelligent agents collaborate to perform goal-oriented tasks. Realizing this vision requires advances in agent harnessing and the agent development lifecycle. This symposium provides a unique forum to discuss, inspire, and foster transdisciplinary innovative research in agentic services.<\/p>

Service-Oriented Computing has long provided the conceptual and engineering foundations for building interoperable, composable, and distributed software services. Today, the rapid emergence of AI agents, LLM-powered systems, and multi-agent workflows presents a major opportunity for the services computing community to define the next stage of this evolution.<\/p>

While recent advances in foundation models and agentic AI have demonstrated impressive capabilities in reasoning, planning, tool use, and workflow automation, many current service systems remain ad hoc, weakly governed, exposed to significant cybersecurity risks, and insufficiently engineered for real-world deployment. There is a pressing need to evolve from loosely coupled \u201cagent demos\u201d toward robust, service-based agentic systems that are dependable, composable, observable, secure, policy-based, and suitable for enterprise and societal use.<\/p>

This symposium advocates Agentic Services as a focused theme for the services computing community. It is a research and practice area concerned with how agents can be engineered as harnessable AI-driven services, how these services can be orchestrated by autonomous goal-driven agents, and how entire ecosystems of services and agents can be effectively leveraged by humans or systems under constraints of cybersecurity, trust, performance, and compliance.<\/p>

The symposium will feature invited talks and paper presentations that bring together distinguished researchers and practitioners investigating not only what agents can do, but also how composable agentic services can be harnessed for practical and societal impact.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
