Interdisciplinary thinking is a key success factor for any community. "Celebrating I4CS' Quarter-Century" is the motto of the 25th I4CS, to be held in Munich, Germany, from June 11 to 13, 2025. This milestone event is dedicated to exploring challenging aspects of modern community systems, services, and applications.

In the light of the rapid evolution of web technologies and smart mobile Internet devices, the ICT support for communities has reached a new quality level. The pursuit of innovative solutions through multi-disciplinary collaboration among researchers, service providers, and industrial partners is essential for the invention of novel community services.

Submission Guidelines

I4CS invites submissions of unpublished papers presenting research results, industrial experiences, and applications, as well as detailed specifications of open problems. Electronic submission is required. Full papers, written in English and not exceeding 20 pages in Springer's CCIS format, should be submitted as PDF files via the EasyChair conference management system at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=i4cs2025.

All submitted papers will undergo a single-blind review process by at least three members of the international program committee. Single-blind" means that the reviewers know the identities of the authors of a submitted paper, but the authors do not know the identities of the reviewers. In this process, anonymizing submissions is not necessary. Please ensure that one author is designated as the presenter at the time of submission.

We will continue our cooperation with Springer. For formatting instructions and templates please refer to https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines. In addition, the papers will be submitted to indexing libraries, e.g. DBLP and Scopus.
