INFOCOMP 2025: Call for Papers

The Fifteenth International Conference on Advanced Communications and Computation (INFOCOMP 2025) will take place from April 06, 2025 to April 10, 2025, in Valencia, Spain.

Onsite and Online Options

In order to accommodate various situations, we are offering the option for either physical presence or virtual participation (pdf slides or pre-recorded videos).

Scope

INFOCOMP 2025 continues a series of events dedicated to advanced communications and computing aspects, covering academic and industrial achievements and visions. The conference addresses the diversity of semantics of data, context gathering and processing, leading to complex mechanisms for applications requiring special communication and computation support. New computation paradigms and communication technologies are driven by the needs for fast processing and requirements from data-intensive and domain-oriented applications.

We solicit both academic, research, and industrial contributions. We welcome technical papers presenting research and practical results, position papers, survey papers, short papers on work in progress, and panel proposals. Industrial presentations are not subject to the format and content constraints of regular submissions.

Tutorials on specific related topics and panels on challenging areas are encouraged.
