IEEE/ACM International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE) is the top software engineering conference sponsored by ACM SIGSOFT and IEEE. ACM SIGSOFT Distinguished Paper Awards are designated to recognize outstanding research in the conference. At ICSE 2026, 22 papers were honored with ACM SIGSOFT Distinguished Paper Awards, selected from 321 accepted technical-track papers out of 1,469 submissions.
Zhihan Jiang is a final-year Ph.D. student in the ARISE lab under the supervision of Prof. Michael R. Lyu. He completed this research in collaboration with other ARISE members, Yujie Huang, Guangba Yu, Junjie Huang and Jiazhen Gu. The awarded paper, “PreServe: Intelligent Management for LMaaS Systems via Hierarchical Prediction”, focuses on a critical research topic of intelligent management for Language-Model-as-a-Service (LMaaS) systems. It analyzes the challenges of dynamic service workloads and diverse request-level resource demands in large-scale LMaaS platforms. Then the authors propose a hierarchical prediction-based framework to proactively adjust resource provisioning and optimize request routing, significantly reducing tail latency and resource consumption on real-world LMaaS production datasets.
