FICC 2025 Call for Papers

About the Conference

Information and Communication is playing an increasing role in society and within our lives. Recognizing this, FICC 2025 aims to provide a forum to researchers from both academia and industry to share their latest research contributions, future vision in the field and its potential impact across industries.

Join us, April 28-29, to explore discovery, progress, and achievements related to Communication, Data Science, Computing and Internet of Things. Click here for conference topics.

The conference will provide its attendees an uncommon opportunity to expand their network beyond their immediate professional environment. It is a unique chance to work with other accomplished individuals from diverse areas towards the common goal of shaping the future of the communication, computing and society.

FICC 2025 is soliciting high quality technical papers addressing research challenges in the areas of Communications, Networking, Data Science, Computing, Ambient Intelligence, Security and Privacy. Papers should present original work validated via analysis, simulation or experimentation. Practical experiences and Testbed trials also are welcome.

Submission Guidelines

Papers are accepted either through the online submission tool or email at [email protected]. For those unable to use the Online System and are emailing, please include a cover letter with author details, university or country information, and any other author related data.

  • We accept files in .docx/.doc/.pdf/Latex Pdf format - as per the call for papers schedule
  • In the initial submission, please do not enter in author details, university, country information or any other author related information in the paper to be in line with the double blind peer review process. This information should be supplied using the online submission form or cover letter in case of email submission.
  • Papers should be thoroughly checked and proofread before submission. After you have submitted your article you are unable to make any changes to it during the refereeing process—although if accepted, you will have a chance to make minor revisions after refereeing and before the final submission of your paper.
  • At the time of camera ready submission, please include complete author information as per the paper format.

Formatting Guidelines

  • Papers must be in English and not more than 20 pages in length.
  • Paper content must be original and relevant to one of the many conference topics.
  • Authors are required to ensure accuracy of quotations, citations, diagrams, maps, and tables.
  • Figures and tables need to be placed where they are to appear in the text and must be clear and easy to view.

Review Process

The review process will be double-blind. Therefore, please anonymize your submission. This means that all submissions must contain no information identifying the author(s) or their organization(s): Do not put the author(s) names or affiliation(s) at the start of the paper, anonymize citations to and mentions of your own prior work that are directly related to your present work, and do not include funding or other acknowledgments.

Each paper will be reviewed by at least three regular PC members or two senior PC members. The acceptance decisions will take into account paper novelty, technical depth, elegance, practical or theoretic impact, and presentation.

  • Original: the paper explores a new idea, project or issue; discusses existing research with promise of new insight, discusses new research; or presents new ways of considering existing information.
  • Engaging: presentation format will involve the audience in some way, or has high potential to attract conference attendees by addressing needs of the community.
  • Significant: the paper raises and discusses issues important to improving the effectiveness of existing techniques, and its contents can be broadly disseminated and understood.
  • Quality: claims are supported by sufficient data; claims draw upon relevant literature; and limitations are described honestly.
  • Relevant: the paper addresses one or more of the themes of the conference.

Post Conference Publication and Indexing

FICC 2025 proceedings will be published in Springer series "Lecture Notes in Networks and Systems" and submitted for consideration to Web of Science, SCOPUS, INSPEC, WTI Frankfurt eG, zbMATH and SCImago.
