<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph"><span lang="EN-US">Machine learning (ML) has gained much attention
in recent years because of its successful adoptions in many data rich domains,
including social systems. However, the development of ML-driven systems in
real-world settings is non-trivial and several scientific challenges are
encountered in practice during development, debugging, maintenance, deployment
and governance of ML systems. On one hand, the development lifecycle of
data-driven and ML-driven systems differs from that of traditional software
systems. Previous software engineering tools and practices may be not
applicable to the development of ML-driven systems (e.g. code/model/data
co-versioning and reuse, exponentially difficult debugging). On the other hand,
risks of incorporation of ML in software system development have been
increasingly concerned due to dataset/model quality risk and DevOps challenges
in ML driven systems. New methods are needed to ensure ML development and
operation is conducted in a trustworthy manner.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph"><span lang="EN-US">Although some research efforts have been made on software
engineering for ML-driven social systems,
there is still a need for more comprehensive DevOps theoretical approaches and
tooling support for ML-driven social systems. In
this special issue, we are looking for cutting edge technologies, novel
studies, and promising developments, which can improve DevOps of ML-driven social systems. Topics of interests include, but are
