Academician Mei introduced three stages of software development. He said that the deep integration of software technology and various industries has become an important driving force to promote industrial transformation and upgrading and innovation and development, and in the new era of human-machine and object integration computing, software is in urgent need of form, values and ecological concepts.

Huang Gang, deputy director of the Institute of Artificial Intelligence of Peking University, gave a speech titled “Trends and Challenges of Ubiquitous System Software for Industrial Internet”. Vice President Huang Gang thinks that data resources are the new driving force of system software evolution, and the current data production relations hinder the evolution of current system software. Through the research and practice of data intelligent and trusted operating system, he introduced the legal and technical approaches to the reform of data production relations.

AI895  Li Yizhan, chairman of Beijing Suowei System Technology Co., LTD., made a keynote speech on “Industrial APP Industry Development Proposals”. He made an in-depth analysis of the difficulties in the development of industrial Internet and industrial apps, and put forward relevant suggestions such as building a unified industrial software operating system, a multi-level industrial APP co-construction system, and a talent cultivation system for industrial APP engineers.

Long Xiaonang, general manager of Shenzhen Hualong Schindler Information Technology Co., LTD., delivered a keynote speech titled “Promoting the Innovation and Development of intelligent Software Industry with Industrial Internet Intelligent Microservices”. He systematically introduced the industrial Internet enabling technology – intelligent microservice from the dimensions of technology, application and benefit, and shared its specific application cases in intelligent equipment, intelligent production, intelligent service and other aspects.

Alibaba Group IoT technology team leader Ding Xianfeng’s speech title is “Industrial Internet Platform = Industrial Software PaaS”. He said that the industrial Internet of Things platform is the “operating system” of the digital factory, and the key task of the industrial Internet platform is to realize the APP of OT software. He shared the overall overview of Alibaba Cloud’s industrial Internet platform and the construction of intelligent microservice ecology.

Ziguang Cloud Engine Technology (Suzhou) Co., Ltd. vice president Zhao Mingyuan made a speech “Ziguang Industrial Internet: Platform + ecology + service”. He shared Unigroup’s exploration in the field of industrial Internet and industry practical experience, and proposed to create a reusable knowledge service system through the dual drive of technology and knowledge, and build an industrial Internet intelligent software ecology.

AI895  In the free speech session of the three topics, Professor Lv Weifeng, Dean of the School of Computer Science and Technology, Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Yang Yongdong, chairman of Chongqing Jinxin Intelligent Technology Co., LTD., Ma Tao, general manager of Beijing Zhiyu Chuangyi Technology Co., LTD., Lin Wei, chairman of Beijing Asia Control Technology Development Co., LTD., Yan Lijuan, Vice president of Beijing Suowei System Technology Co., LTD., Li Bin, assistant president of Glodon Technology Co., Ltd. analyzed the issues from different angles, and gave their own suggestions and coping strategies.

Deputy Director General Yang Yuyan and President Xu Xiaolan respectively made a concluding speech to the meeting. Director General Yang said that China’s current basic software and industrial software to a large extent there are shortcomings and weaknesses, we must change this reality, to promote the comprehensive development of the software industry. She said that the next work needs to solve several key problems: first, the development of universal graphical programming tools, which will help engineers to deposit industrial technology and knowledge through software; The second is to improve the profitability of software products and services and carry out the evaluation of software value; Third, learn from the successful experience of Internet software, cultivate systematic innovation ability, and promote the healthy development of industrial Internet software.

President Xu said that the conference brought together experts, scholars and enterprise representatives with a deeper understanding of the industrial Internet software industry to discuss the innovation, application, ecology and enablement of intelligent software, and put forward many valuable suggestions on how to play the soul role of software and promote the better and faster development of the industrial Internet.
