DDP 2025

Fifth International Conference on Digital Data Processing (DDP 2025)
University of Bedfordshire. Luton. (Near London) UK.
August 18-20, 2025
(www.socio.org.uk/ddp)
(IEEE approval pending)

As technology advances in different sub-domains of computing,
data-driven models are becoming increasingly important. The
data-dependent world now faces many challenges in terms of data accuracy
and data privacy. High-impact advancements include machine learning,
artificial intelligence, deep learning and many more. Data is growing
exponentially in terms of diversity and complexity. One organization or
industry processes over a few million transactions per hour and stores
hundreds of billions of data. We live in a world with a great need for
more efficient data analysis and processing. Data analytics can reveal
hidden patterns, complex relationships, internal information relations,
and even segmentation. Data applications have opened up new
possibilities in every aspect of our lives. Studying data and its
structure, dynamics, and modern data technologies is ongoing. There is a
great deal of literature and research on data management, but it does
not address the data processing needs. Many studies focus on developing
models and systems for analysing large datasets.

Data analysis leads to application domains that have a systematic impact
on decisions. The knowledge gained from the data analysis enables the
generation of critical information for multiple domains. In this
conference, we review and discuss the latest trends in data management,
the opportunities and challenges, and how they have affected
organizations' ability to develop effective business and technology
strategies and stay up-to-date in data technology. We also highlight
current open research directions in data analytics that need further
attention.

The proposed conference will discuss topics not limited to

Data applications in various domains and activities
Data in cloud
Real-world data processing
Data inaccuracy and reliability issues
Data Ecosystem
Business Analytics
New data analytics techniques
Physical and management challenges
Synthetic data
Data synthesis
Crowdsourcing and Sensing
Data modelling
Deep learning techniques
Data fusion
Descriptive analytics, Diagnostic analytics, Predictive Analytics, and
Prescriptive analytics
Machine learning impact on data processing
Network optimization
Data in Biomedical Engineering
Data in Materials science and mechanics
Data handling and applications in domains
Wireless Networking Data Management
Data of Electronic & Embedded Systems
Multi-media Systems Data
Artificial Intelligence Models and Systems Data
E-Computing Data
Renewable Energies Data

2nd call INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN HEALTHCARE (AIiH) – Cambridge

INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN HEALTHCARE (AIiH)
8 – 10 September 2025, Jesus College, University of Cambridge, UK
(2nd Call for Papers)
Deadline: 11 April 2025
Submission to AIiH 2025 is now open, with submission deadline the 11th of April 2025. AIiH 2025 is a single track conference with oral and poster presentations and will include 5 keynote presentations and one conference tutorial on LLM. The conference will also feature a plenary session that focuses on responsible AI for Healthcare. This second edition will be hosted in the Jesus College, University of Cambridge.
Authors are invited to submit full-length high-quality papers in both theory and/or application areas that are closely relevant to the conference. Submitted papers will be refereed on their originality, presentation, empirical results, and quality of evaluation. Submissions for special sessions are also welcomed. Special session papers are reviewed in the same way as main sessions (double blind review for full papers and the same page limit) and papers are included in the proceedings for accepted full papers.
Full papers will be published in the Springer LNCS proceedings.
AIiH 2025 also welcomes short abstract submissions to be included as poster or short spot-light presentation at the conference. This is to both enable fast dissemination of promising preliminary findings and encourage attendance by a broader audience of early career researchers (including research students), healthcare professionals, and industrial practitioners. Abstracts will be archived with DOIs.
1. ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
AIiH aims to provide a prominent platform for researchers and practitioners who are devoted to improving healthcare using modern artificial intelligence. We recognise that healthcare applications present complex and sometimes unique challenges across a wide spectrum, from ethics to technical developments, that generic AI methods are often inadequate. By creating this dedicated forum, we encourage discussions and disseminations of efficient and effective AI solutions and technologies for healthcare, and in turn we hope to influence the research, technology adoption, and decision making in healthcare.
The first edition of the conference was held in the beautiful city of Swansea, with delegates from 20 different countries. The papers submitted to AIiH 2024 were thoroughly reviewed by up to four referees per paper and the full papers were published in the Springer LNCS proceedings. The best paper and best poster prizes were selected and awarded at the conference. Two finalists in the best paper category were invited to submit extended version to the Journal of Big Data Mining and Analytics (IF: 7.7). AIiH 2024 also offered 5 bursaries to students in order to encourage wider participation, particularly where financial support was needed. More details about AIiH 2024, including the 9 invited talks and conference proceedings, can be found here: aiih.cc/aiih-2024/

the two digits special track ID. For example, a paper entitled “Incremental Knowledge Graph
Learning”, intended to target Special Track 01 (Machine learning and knowledge graph) should
be changed as “SS01: Incremental Knowledge Graph Learning”.

All manuscripts are submitted as full papers and are reviewed based on their scientific merit.
