The seven papers in this special section focus on services computing management for artificial intelligence and machine learning. The goal of services computing is to enable IT services and computing technology to perform business services more efficiently and effectively. The pervasive nature of services computing management is exhibited in almost all industry settings. In everyday life, new business service innovations will give rise to an emergent data- and information-focused economy that will only pick up steam as both consumer and business utilization of Internet of Things are advanced. These AI services can be formed from high-level computational intelligence that leverages emerging analytical techniques associated with big data, web analytics, data and text mining, ontology engineering, semantic web, and many other advances. At the same time, it becomes increasingly important to anticipate technical and practical challenges and to identify best practices learned through experience.
