[Contiki-developers] The 31st Annual ACM Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces (IUI 2026): First Call for Papers

[Announce <ann...@uc...>]

*** First Call for Papers ***

The 31st Annual ACM Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces (IUI 2026)

March 23-26, 2026, 5* Coral Beach Hotel & Resort, Paphos, Cyprus

https://iui.hosting.acm.org/2026/


The ACM Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces (ACM IUI) is the annual premier venue where
researchers and practitioners meet and discuss state-of-the-art advances at the intersection
of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). Ideal IUI submissions
should address practical HCI challenges using machine intelligence and discuss both
computational and human-centric aspects of such methodologies, techniques, and systems.

This area is crucial as AI is increasingly integrated into everyday technology. Understanding and
shaping AI systems for human needs is essential to ensure that AI systems are effective and
responsible. As these techniques become increasingly powerful, new use cases and human-AI
interactions can be explored. This conference offers an opportunity to focus the research
community on important problems at the intersection of AI and HCI and bring together experts
from various disciplines to discuss and build on these ideas in workshops, breaks, and
networking sessions.

Contributions are welcome from all relevant arenas, including academia, industry, government,
and non-profit organizations. Diverse insights are critical to the vitality of the IUI community,
and the conference will accept papers for both long and short oral presentations. Contributions
to IUI are expected to be supported by rigorous evidence appropriate to the claims (e.g., user
study, system evaluation, computational analysis).

Papers

We invite original paper submissions that are not under consideration elsewhere. Accepted
papers will appear in the ACM Digital Library and citation indices. At least one author of all
accepted papers must register with full registration fee (not student registration fee), attend in
person, and present their paper during the main conference program. One registration covers
one paper only.

A selected set of accepted top-quality full papers will be invited to submit their extended
versions for publication in an ACM Transactions on Interactive Intelligent Systems (TiiS) special
issue titled “Highlights of IUI 2026” that will appear in 2027.


Reflection of practical and societal impact

We encourage authors to consider practical and societal implications of their work (as well as
its shortcomings) throughout their projects and to include a reflection on those implications in
their papers, in particular how the proposed methods and insights could be applied and
deployed in a realistic setting and how they can improve people's lives in the real world.

We also encourage authors to discuss potential ethical considerations of their work in terms of
diversity, inclusion, and equality; and other topics under the broad responsible AI topic and its
societal impact. We recognize that technology is rarely neutral --- simply by making some
things easier than others, it reshapes society (Winner, 1980; Green, 2020). Further, given the
incredibly short invention-to-application cycles for AI-related technologies, it is becoming
increasingly unlikely that “somebody else” will carefully consider how an emerging intelligent
user interface technology might impact the world before this technology is deployed. Our
purpose is to help authors ensure that the likely societal consequences of their work are
consistent with their intentions and values. For colleagues who are not yet experienced with
incorporating societal impacts into their IUI research but who are willing to give it a try, here
are some ideas to consider.

Anonymization

ACM IUI uses a double-blind review process. All submissions (and supplemental materials)
must be appropriately anonymized according to the following guidelines:
• Authors' names and affiliations are not visible anywhere in the paper.
• Acknowledgements should be anonymized or removed during the review process.
• Self-citations should be included where necessary but must use the third person. For
example, "... as shown in our previous user study [2] ... " is not allowed, whereas "... as shown
in Smith et al. [2] " is acceptable (because in this case the citation [2] will NOT be perceived as
self-citation).

Failure to follow these guidelines may result in submissions being desk-rejected without review.


Accessibility

Authors are asked to make their paper submissions accessible (so that reviewers with vision
impairments can access them, for example). The authors of accepted papers will be required to
make their final PDFs accessible. Please use the SIGCHI Guide to an Accessible Submission for
detailed instructions.

If you are submitting a video as supplemental material, please provide captions, as described
in Technical Requirements and Guidelines for Videos.

Please refer to the Accessibility page of the conference site for further details and guidelines.


Usage of Generative AI

All submissions must comply with the ACM policy on the usage of GenAI: the April 2023 ACM
Policy on Authorship and Frequently Asked Questions. Text generated from a large-scale
language model (LLM), such as ChatGPT, must be clearly marked where such tools are used for
purposes beyond editing the author’s own text. Authors should include a “GenAI Usage
Disclosure” section, right before the references, to provide full disclosure of all use of GenAI
tools in all stages of the research (including the code and data) and the writing. This section,
together with the references, will not be counted toward the word limit.

While we do not anticipate using tools on a large scale to detect LLM-generated text, we will
investigate submissions brought to our attention and desk reject papers where LLM use is not
clearly marked.


Research Involving Human Participants and Subjects

Any research in submitted manuscripts that involves human subjects must go through the
appropriate ethics review requirements that apply to the authors’ research environment. As
research environments vary considerably with regard to their requirements, authors are asked
to submit a short note to reviewers that provides this context. Please also see the 2021 ACM
Publications policy on research involving human participants and subjects before submitting.


Additional Policies

Authors should also be aware of the SIGCHI Policy for Submission and Review at SIGCHI
Conferences and ACM Publications Policies.


Submission Format, Length, and Platform

We adopt the ACM TAPS Workflow.

Please prepare your submission for review in a single column format, using the latest
templates: Word Submission Template, or the LaTeX template using
\documentclass[manuscript,review,anonymous]{acmart} for the LaTeX template.

Papers are of variable length. Paper length must be proportional to its contribution. We
encourage authors to stay within a 10,000 word limit. Authors of papers exceeding 12,000
words should add a note at the end of their manuscript explaining how the length of the paper
is commensurate with the contribution of the work.


Submission Platform

All materials must be submitted electronically to the Precision Conference Submission (PCS)
Portal (https://new.precisionconference.com/) by the abstract and paper deadlines.

In PCS, first click “Submissions” at the top of the page, from the dropdown menus for Society,
Conference, and Track, please select “SIGCHI”, “IUI 2026”, and “IUI 2026 Papers”, respectively,
and then press “Go”.

Note: If the corresponding author (the individual who submits the paper, not necessarily the
first author) is affiliated with a participating institution that has an open access agreement with
ACM, the Article Processing Charges (APCs) will be waived for publishing the paper. Details are
under “Publication and Open Access”.


Supplemental Materials

Submitting supplemental material (e.g., questionnaires, demo videos of applications, data
sheets) is optional but encouraged.

If supplying a demo video, please follow the SIGCHI Technical Requirements and Guidelines for
videos.


Publication and Open Access

The official publication date is the date the proceedings are made available in the ACM Digital
Library. This date may be up to two weeks prior to the first day of the conference. The official
publication date affects the deadline for any patent filings related to published work.

Starting January 1, 2026, ACM will fully transition to Open Access. All ACM publications,
including those from ACM-sponsored conferences, will be 100% Open Access. Authors will
have two primary options for publishing Open Access articles with ACM: the ACM Open
institutional model or by paying Article Processing Charges (APCs). With over 1,800 institutions
already part of ACM Open, the majority of ACM-sponsored conference papers will not require
APCs from authors or conferences (currently, around 70-75%).
Authors from institutions not participating in ACM Open will need to pay an APC to publish
their papers, unless they qualify for a financial or discretionary waiver. To find out whether an
APC applies to your article, please consult the list of participating institutions in ACM Open and
review the APC Waivers and Discounts Policy. Keep in mind that waivers are rare and are
granted based on specific criteria set by ACM.

Understanding that this change could present financial challenges, ACM has approved a
temporary subsidy for 2026 to ease the transition and allow more time for institutions to join
ACM Open. The subsidy will offer:
* $250 APC for ACM/SIG members
* $350 for non-members
This represents a 65% discount, funded directly by ACM. Authors are encouraged to help
advocate for their institutions to join ACM Open during this transition period.
This temporary subsidized pricing will apply to all conferences scheduled for 2026.

a strong statement justifying in detail how the revised version addresses
the reviewers’ concerns. Resubmissions lacking this justification will be
desk-rejected.


** Submission Guidelines **


Submitted papers must be original, unpublished work, and must not be under
review for any other publication at the time of submission. Submissions
must be at most 12 pages (full papers) or 6 pages (short papers), and must
include all figures and tables within the page limits. References may use
as many pages as needed. Both formats should be prepared on single-spaced
8.5” x 11” pages, using a 9-point font size in a two-column layout.
Submissions must follow either the LaTeX template (preferred) or Word style
files provided here. LaTeX submissions should specifically use the
acmart.cls template with the sigconf option.

Authors are expected to make a good-faith effort to anonymize their
manuscripts. The presence of non-anonymous preprints (such as those on
arXiv or similar repositories) will not result in rejection. Reviewers will
be instructed not to actively look for such preprints, but incidentally
discovering such materials will not violate the double-blind policy.
Submissions that do not comply with the specified size, formatting, or
anonymization guidelines will not be reviewed. All papers must be submitted
in Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) through the designated conference
submission system.

For submissions that involve research with human participants, including
those using anonymized data, authors must include a brief description of
how ethical considerations were addressed and whether the work received
approval from an ethics review board (e.g., IRB). All authors are expected
to comply with the policies of their institutions regarding data collection
and research involving human subjects.

[Contiki-developers] [CFP] IEEE/ACM International Conference on Big Data Computing, Applications and Technologies (BDCAT 2025)

[Daniel C. <dan...@us...>]

IEEE/ACM International Conference on Big Data Computing, Applications and
Technologies (BDCAT 2025)

We are pleased to announce that the “12th IEEE/ACM International Conference
on Big Data Computing, Applications and Technologies (BDCAT 2025)” will be
held in Nantes, France, between 1st and 4th December 2025.

Recent years have witnessed significant interest in the use of Machine
Learning and AI-based techniques to support large-scale data analysis, with
research and implementation of systems specifically focused on supporting
different phases of the data processing lifecycle. These have ranged from
in-memory systems and distributed environments (e.g., MapReduce/Hadoop,
Spark) to specialist environments for stream processing of data and events
(e.g., Flink, Kinesis) and Serverless (e.g., OpenWhisk, AWS Lambda). On the
other hand, we also recognize the importance of computational systems
required to process small data volumes, but which involve interdependencies
and relationships that are hard to capture and derive.

The IEEE/ACM International Conference on Big Data Computing, Applications
and Technologies (BDCAT) is a premier annual international conference
series aiming to provide a forum for researchers from both academia and
industry to present and discuss new discoveries in the broad area of big
data computing and applications. Previous events were held in London, UK
(BDCAT 2014), Limassol, Cyprus (BDCAT 2015), Shanghai, China (BDCAT 2016),
Austin, USA (BDCAT 2017), Zurich, Switzerland (BDCAT 2018), Auckland, New
Zealand (BDCAT 2019), Leicester, UK (BDCAT 2020), Leicester, UK (BDCAT
2021), Vancouver, USA (BDCAT 2022), Taormina, Italy (BDCAT 2023), Sharjah,
UAE (BDCAT 2024). The BDCAT 2025 will be held in conjunction with the 18th
IEEE/ACM International Conference on Utility and Cloud Computing (UCC 2025)
in Nantes, France.

[Announce <ann...@uc...>]

*** First Call for Workshop & Tutorial Proposals

The 31st Annual ACM Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces (IUI 2026)

March 23-26, 2026, 5* Coral Beach Hotel & Resort, Paphos, Cyprus

https://iui.hosting.acm.org/2026/


We are pleased to invite proposals for workshops and tutorials to be held in conjunction with
the 31st International ACM Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces (ACM IUI 2026), Paphos,
Cyprus.

Workshops aim to provide a venue for presenting research on emerging or specialized topics
of interest and to offer an informal forum for discussing research questions and challenges.
Potential workshop topics should be related to the general theme of the conference
(“Where HCI meets AI”).

Tutorials aim to provide fundamental knowledge and experience on topics related to intelligent
user interfaces and the intersection between Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Artificial
Intelligence (AI).

We welcome proposals for a wide range of *full-day* or *half-day* workshops and tutorial
formats and activities, including but not limited to:

• Mini Conferences: Workshops that focus on a specific topic and may have their own paper
submission and review processes.

• Interactive Formats: Workshops that encourage active participation and hands-on
experiences through break-out sessions or group work to explore specific topics. They may
have their own paper submission and review process or target a report summarizing the
discussions and outcomes.

• Emerging Work Sessions: Workshops that foster discussion around emerging ideas.
Organizers may raise specific topics and invite position papers, late-breaking results, or
extended abstracts.

• Project-Centric Formats: Workshops tied closely to a specific existing large-scale funded
project(e.g., NSF, EU) with the goal to engage a broader community.

• Interactive Competitions: Formats that invite individuals and teams to participate in
challenges or hackathons on selected topics relevant to IUI.

• Tutorials: Sessions that provide a structured instruction on topics aligned with the conference
theme, such as HCI methods, AI techniques, methodological frameworks, or tools for building
intelligent user interfaces.


Review and Oversight by Workshop and Tutorial Chairs

Proposals will be reviewed and evaluated by the Workshop and Tutorial Chairs. It is possible
that workshops may be cancelled, shortened, merged, or restructured if there are insufficient
submissions.

Workshop and Tutorial summaries will be included in the ACM Digital Library for ACM IUI 2026.
We will also publish joint workshop proceedings for accepted workshop submissions (through
CEUR or a similar venue).


Responsibilities of Workshop and Tutorial Organizers

• Coordinate the Call for Papers, including solicitation, submission handling, and peer review
process.

• Create and maintain a dedicated website with Workshop or Tutorial information. The IUI

(*** Submission Deadline: June 16, 2025 (final extension!) ***)


IFIP-ICTSS is a well-established conference where researchers, developers, testers, and users
from industry get together to present and discuss the most recent innovations, experiences
and open challenges related to testing software and systems and measuring software quality.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

■ AI for Software Testing and Testing of AI: the growing interest in the use of AI has also
spread in to various aspects of software testing. In addition, work is underway to test and
validate AI systems/applications (machine learning, expert systems, neural networks).

■ Aspects of testing: test derivation, test selection, test generation, test coverage, test
concretization, test implementation and execution, test result analysis, test oracle, verdict
computation, test management, active testing and passive testing, monitoring and runtime
verification.

■ Testing new technologies: this year we encourage submissions focused on testing Large
Language Models (LLMs), audit machine learning systems (especially for applications to Health)
and Quantum systems (programs, computers, and simulators).

■ Diversity on testing: diverse generation, selecting diverse test suites, foundations of testing
and diversity, applications of entropy and Kolmogorov complexity on test suite diversity.

■ Theoretical approaches: formalisms (such as automata, state machines, process algebra,
logics, Markov-chains...), testing frameworks, results for compositionality, refinement,
soundness and completeness, addressing complex systems, heterogeneous or hybrid systems.

■ Modelling languages (such as UML, MATLAB, Simulink, Modelica...) and associated
tooling for model-based testing: test generation from models, model-based oracles.
Scalability, traceability, quantification issues. Automated support of any parts of the testing
activities, testing processes, test-driven development, sound metrics and measurements.

■ Testing of quality aspects: Functional, interoperability, unit, integration, performance, load,
conformance, non-regression, reliability, robustness.

■ Security Testing: methodologies and techniques for continuous security assessment, security
monitoring, security review, penetration testing, verification of certification compliance;
automation of security testing processes.

■ Testing emerging technologies: quantum systems (programs, computers, and simulators),
genetic algorithms, metaverse, and any other technology in the early stages of testing.

■ Human Aspects of Testing: human psychology and management attitude play major roles
in formulating and adopting testing in practice.

■ Cross domains and combination of techniques: using other techniques such as proof,
model-checking, symbolic execution, abstract interpretation, static analysis, simulation,
model learning, ... to improve quality and reduce the effort in testing processes.

dissemination of original research that is within the scope of ICTSS. A submission in this
category must adhere to the following criteria:
■ It should be clearly within the scope of the conference.
■ It should be recent: it should have been accepted and made publicly available in a journal
(online or in print) by January 1, 2023 or more recently.
■ It has not been presented at, and is not under consideration for, Journal- First tracks of other
conferences or workshops.
■ The submission has to be in the form of a 4-page extended abstract and has to provide a
concise summary of the published journal paper.
■ It must be marked as such in the submission’s, and must explicitly include full bibliographic
details (including a DOI) of the journal publication they are based on. Since the referenced
journal papers have already been reviewed and accepted by the corresponding journals,
submissions in the JF category will not be reviewed again for technical content. Submissions will
be judged on the basis of the above criteria, but also considering how well they would
complement the conference’s technical program. Accepted submissions in this category will be

[Contiki-developers] 19th European Conference on Software Architecture (ECSA 2025): Last Mile for Workshop Papers

[Announce <ann...@uc...>]

*** Last Mile for Workshop Papers ***

19th European Conference on Software Architecture (ECSA 2025)

September 15-19, 2025, 5* St. Raphael Resort and Marina, Limassol, Cyprus

https://conf.researchr.org/home/ecsa-2025

(*** Proceedings to be published by Springer in LNCS ***)
(*** Submission Deadline: June 2, 2025 (extended and firm!) ***)


The European Conference on Software Architecture (ECSA) is the premier European forum for
presenting and discussing software architecture research and practice.

ECSA edition 2025 hosts workshops on topics related to software architecture. The following
workshops will be held between September 15-16, 2025:

8th International Workshop on Context-Aware, Autonomous and Smart Architectures
(CASA)
https://casaecsa.github.io/casa2025/

Software is becoming increasingly aware of its current execution context. Decisions that were
traditionally made at design time are being postponed until runtime to improve the services
that software provides to its users. In addition, software reasons about the execution
environments and its internal state to improve the functionality provided to its users. Some of
the keywords that characterize software today are: context-aware, dynamic, autonomous,
smart, adaptive, self-managed. In this context, the Context-aware, Autonomous, and Smart
Architectures (CASA) workshop aims to address the issues and challenges raised by the design,
implementation, and evaluation of software systems characterized by the above keywords.
Novel design and development approaches are needed to address the new issues raised by such
systems. New solutions are expected to properly address the trade-offs between the various
quality attributes that characterize these systems. Or, existing architectural solutions should be
adapted and improved to meet the evolving and dynamic requirements of context-aware,
autonomous, and intelligent systems. The workshop aims to bring together software engineers,
computer scientists, researchers, practitioners, and educators to discuss and exchange results,
case studies, experiences, novel approaches, and visionary ideas on software architectures for
context-aware, autonomous, and smart solutions.

1st International Workshop on Architecting Digital Twin of an Organization (ArchDTO)
https://archdto.github.io/archdto2025/

The Digital Twin of an Organization (DTO) extends the concept of Digital Twins to create virtual
replicas of business models, processes, resources, and interactions. DTOs enable optimization
of decision-making, increased efficiency, and adaptability to rapid changes by leveraging real-
time data, simulations, AI, and predictive analytics. Despite their transformative potential,
DTOs are still in early development, facing significant software architecture challenges such as
scalability, interoperability, model robustness, and real-time data integration. This workshop
explores the architectural frameworks, design patterns, and software engineering principles
needed to build robust DTOs. Topics include frameworks for DTO creation, enterprise modeling
methodologies, technological enablers like AI and the Internet of Things, and real-world use
cases from academia and industry. Given the novelty of the topic, the workshop consists of two
main sessions: (1) presentations of academic and industry papers on DTO architectures,
frameworks, and technologies, and (2) an interactive workshop session, where participants will
engage in problem-solving, explore case studies, and collaboratively define challenges,
solutions, and best practices for architecting DTOs.

1st International Workshop on AI-Assisted Software Architecting (AISA)
https://sites.google.com/view/aisasa/home?pli=1

AI-assisted software architecting is transforming how architectural decisions are made,
implemented, and maintained. Leveraging artificial intelligence, this paradigm enhances
architectural decision making, automates repetitive architecting tasks, and optimizes system
designs. The AISA workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners to explore
AI’s role in various software architecting activities, including architecture analysis, design,
decision-making, evolution, and documentation. We will also discuss AI-driven architectural
pattern recommendations, best practices, and the application of AI in continuous architecting
and self-adaptive architectures. Topics include AI-assisted architecture synthesis, automated
architecture pattern selection, refactoring, security enforcement, and integrating AI into DevOps
and MLOps pipelines. The workshop will foster discussions and collaborations between
academia and industry to identify open challenges, research directions, and practical
applications

5th International Workshop on Agility with Microservices Programming (AMP)
https://amp-workshops.github.io

The AMP workshop aims to collect experiences on microservice adoption and reporting best
practices, as well as failure cases, to build community knowledge based on past mistakes and
successes. We also emphasize the current trend towards AI-driven software engineering
practices and the development of data- intensive applications. The workshop seeks for
solutions and experiences both on both AI-assisted tooling, and building data-intensive
applications and LLMs using microservices. The workshop is open to experience reports from
practitioners and academics. We seek to collect original work on the science and engineering of
programming microservices.

1st International Workshop on Software Architecture for Data-Intensive Systems (SADIS)
https://sadis2025.smartarch.cz

Modern software systems increasingly rely on data-centric processes to fuel intelligent features,
scalable services, and real-time insights. As these systems evolve, designing effective software
architectures for data-intensive environments becomes critical yet challenging. These
architectures must address complex concerns such as handling high-velocity data streams,
ensuring security and privacy, integrating heterogeneous data sources and heterogeneous
computation fabrics (including GPUs/TPUs and edge devices), and adapting to changing
workloads. The workshop aims to bring together academic researchers, industry practitioners,
and thought leaders to explore cutting-edge approaches for building, deploying, and
maintaining robust data-centric solutions. We invite discussions on a range of topics at the
intersection of data-intensive systems and software architecture, including machine learning
(ML) pipelines, ML Operations (MLOps) frameworks and patterns, domain-specific languages,
reference architectures, and visualization techniques. Emphasis is placed on practical
experiences, innovative tools and platforms, and theoretical advancements that tackle the
ever-growing demands placed on data-intensive systems. By fostering interdisciplinary
collaboration and knowledge exchange, the workshop seeks to shape the future of data-driven
architecture design and empower professionals and researchers to address emerging challenges
in this rapidly evolving domain.

Workshop on Adaptive and Reconfigurable Systems and Architectures (AROSA)
https://www.redcad.org/events/arosa2025/

The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners both from the
Academia and from the Industry working in the areas of the adaptation and reconfiguration of
distributed systems. Different investigation topics are involved, such as: CBSE, Web service,
cloud applications, mobile applications, Functional and Non-Functional requirements (QoS,
performance, resilience), monitoring, diagnosis, deci- sion and execution of adaptation and
reconfiguration. Different research areas are covered: concepts, methods, techniques, and tools
to design, develop, deploy and manage adaptive and reconfigurable software systems. The
concept of adaptive and reconfigurable software systems has been introduced in order to
describe architectures, which exhibit such properties. An adaptive and reconfigurable software
system can repair itself if any execution problems occur, in order to successfully complete its
own execution, while respecting functional requirements and quality attributes. In the design of
an adaptive and reconfigurable software system, several aspects have to be considered. For
instance, the system should be able to predict or to detect degradations and failures as soon as
possible and to enact suitable recovery actions.

IFIP-ICTSS Invites:

Full papers (12 to 15 pages plus at most 2 extra pages for references in the one-column
Springer LNCS format) describing original research contributions with sufficient evidence for
the interest of the proposed approach.

Industry papers (12 to 15 pages plus at most 2 extra pages for references in the one-column
Springer LNCS format) describing original research or experience report conducted within an
industrial environment or in collaboration with an industry partner.

Short papers or work-in-progress papers (up to 6 pages plus at most 1 extra page for
references in the one-column Springer LNCS format) describing academic work in progress or
tool implementations, as well as testing processes, achievements and feedback on testing
methods for industrial case studies.

Journal-First. The aim of the Journal-First (JF) submission category is to further enrich the
program of ICTSS, as well as to provide an overall more flexible path to publication and
dissemination of original research that is within the scope of ICTSS. A submission in this
category must adhere to the following criteria:
■ It should be clearly within the scope of the conference.
■ It should be recent: it should have been accepted and made publicly available in a journal
(online or in print) by January 1, 2023 or more recently.
■ It has not been presented at, and is not under consideration for, Journal- First tracks of other
conferences or workshops.
■ The submission has to be in the form of a 4-page extended abstract and has to provide a
concise summary of the published journal paper.
■ It must be marked as such in the submission’s, and must explicitly include full bibliographic
details (including a DOI) of the journal publication they are based on. Since the referenced
journal papers have already been reviewed and accepted by the corresponding journals,
submissions in the JF category will not be reviewed again for technical content. Submissions will
be judged on the basis of the above criteria, but also considering how well they would
complement the conference’s technical program. Accepted submissions in this category will be
part of the proceedings of ICTSS 2025, with the title equal to the original title of the article with
the prefix.

The submission link is: https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=ictss2025

The papers will be published by Springer in the LNCS volume.

Authors should consult Springer’s Instructions for Authors of Proceedings
(https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines)

Conference theme: “Pervasive digital services for people’s well-being,
inclusion and sustainable development”


OVERVIEW

Next-gen digital services contribute to people’s well-being, inclusion, and sustainable
development, re-shaping e-business, e-services, and e-society. Such services are pervasive
both since they run on a large variety of heterogeneous devices and they permeate various
aspects of daily life, by offering accessible and personalised experiences to all individuals. The
proposed theme advocates for the design, implementation and operations of novel digital
solutions that satisfy the needs of different individuals, while contributing to their well-being
and to preserving the Planet.

I3E 2025 will collect contributions about the creation and management of user-centric
accessible platforms, applications, and services that empower individuals to live healthier and
more fulfilling lives. The proposed theme aims at emphasizing how it is possible to leverage
different technologies to address pressing societal challenges such as, for instance, healthcare
access, education, poverty alleviation, sustainable usage of resources, and social equity,
towards a more inclusive and sustainable future.
