Proceedings

In addition to the workshop proposals, organizers are kindly invited to consider extending the content of their workshops into full-length papers for submission within the main paper track of IFIP-ICEC 2025 to be included in the proceedings. This provides an excellent opportunity for workshop participants to contribute their insights and findings to the broader conference audience.

We look forward to receiving your innovative workshop proposals and to hosting a diverse and engaging set of workshops at IFIP-ICEC 2025.
