IWANN 2025: Call for Papers

On behalf of the Organizing Committee of the International Work-Conference on Artificial Neural Networks (IWANN 2025), we are pleased to invite you to participate in this event that will be held in June 2025 in A Coruña, Spain. This will be the 18th edition of IWANN.

This biennial meeting seeks to provide a discussion forum for scientists, engineers, educators and students about the latest discoveries and realizations in the foundations, theory, models and applications of systems inspired by nature, as well as in emerging areas related to the above items, using computational intelligence methodologies.

Submission Types

• Full Papers: Maximum 12 pages in Springer LNCS format. Must contain original work, not published or submitted elsewhere. Accepted papers will be published as Springer LNCS proceedings.
• Extended Abstracts: 2 pages in Springer LNCS format. Must contain original work, not published or submitted elsewhere. Accepted abstracts will be published in a Book of Abstracts.
• Published Paper Showcase: Presentation of a previously published journal paper by the same author(s), published in a prestigious journal (JCR indexed or similar). Submitted showcase proposals will be reviewed for topical relevance and, if accepted, will be referenced in the Book of Abstracts.

Regardless the type of submission, at least one of the authors will register, pay the registration fee, and attend the Conference.
