[Dario Allegra]

== Call for Papers for i-Cities 2025 ==

DEADLINE EXTENDED

Due to the several requests for deferral received in the last days, the deadline for Paper submission has been EXTENDED to June 3, 2025!


i-Cities 2025 will be organized in Gaeta (Italy), from September 17 to September 19, 2025 (https://icities25.unicas.it/) by the University of Cassino and Southern Lazio

The eleventh edition of the i-Cities conference continues its tradition of integrating key ICT technologies within a multidisciplinary approach to Smart Cities and Communities. The conference aims to bring together academia, industry, and public institutions to share and discuss research advances, innovative solutions, and real-world applications addressing urban challenges. It provides a platform to foster collaborations, exchange ideas, and explore opportunities for new projects at the national and international levels.
Authors are invited to submit work demonstrating practical implementations, advancing theoretical foundations, or exploring new methodologies.
This year, the conference emphasizes academic research contributions that will be discussed in scientific workshops hosted by the conference.
Therefore, authors can submit extended abstracts related to either scientific contributions, which will be extended to become full papers, or preliminary works, which will only be presented through short pitches.
A dedicated €2000 funding has been secured to support the challenge that will take place during the I-Cities event.
The 2025 edition will include a special session focused on the laboratory¡¯s areas of expertise. This session will feature the presentation of a catalog describing all research and development activities carried out within the lab, prepared by a group of young researchers and PhD students.

The submission is now open through OpenReview and available here<https://openreview.net/group?id=I-CiTies/2025/Conference> (the website will be updated soon).

Important notes:

  *   If the paper is of industrial type, please include "industrial track" among the keywords.
  *   In the TL;DR field, specify "full paper" if you are interested in the extended version being published in the proceedings.
  *   Please note that all authors are required to submit an extended abstract (maximum two pages) by the May deadline, using the template provided on the conference website.
The expression of interest in submitting a full version for publication in the proceedings is non-binding.
The full version will be submitted after the conference has concluded.

Full papers will be published in the conference proceedings, which will be indexed in Scopus in all cases¡ªeither through CEUR-WS or, subject to approval, through Elsevier or Springer. Formal requests have been submitted to both publishers, and we are currently awaiting their responses.
