Prof. Washizaki joined IEEE Congress on SERVICES 2024 sponsored by IEEE-CS and others in Shenzhen for a remark and software services engineering panel. We have been reminded of services’ critical role in our increasingly digitalized and AI-empowered world. The congress comprises different but related technical conferences and symposiums ranging from edge, cloud, and web service computing as well as emerging quantum software, crucial domains such as digital health, and necessary education for future generations. Thanks to all organizers and attendees, such a great conference!
