Introduction
With the ever-increasing popularity of service computing technology, a
wide range of computational resources or services (e.g., news, food and
commodities) are emerging rapidly on the Web (Dastjerdi et al., 2016; Tao
et al., 2014), which benefit the development, deployment and maintenance
of lightweight service-oriented business systems significantly (Jula et
al., 2014; Wang et al., 2014; Wang et al., 2016). Through selecting or
composing appropriate web services, an enterprise or organization can
accelerate its system development, optimize system performances and gain
more profits (Liu et al., 2017; Shih et al., 2019; Zhang et al., 2016).

The recently emerged new computing paradigms (e.g., cloud, edge and fog),
on one hand, widen the scope of applications of services computing
technology (Deng et al., 2014; Wang et al., 2017; Mahmud et al., 2018), on
the other hand bring additional difficulties and challenges in terms of
resource load (Vaquero et al., 2014; Shi et al., 2016), energy cost (Roman
et al., 2018), link switch (Zhang et al., 2018), quality optimization
(Guan et al., 2018; Gong et al., 2018), and so on. Therefore, it becomes a
necessity to combine the advantages of both the services computing
technology and the cloud/edge/fog computing paradigms. This special
session aims to highlight the cutting-edge research and applications
related to the “Service Computing Innovations in the Cloud, Edge and Fog
Environment”.
