ICCI is an annual international cognitive intelligence conference, which showcases state-of-the-art R&D activities in cognitive intelligence systems and their industrial and engineering applications. It provides a forum for technical presentations and discussions among cognitive intelligence researchers, developers and users from academia, business and industry.

The 2025 ICCI will be held in Hong Kong on July 4-6, 2025. Hong Kong is a special administrative region of China. With 7.4 million residents of various nationalities in a 1,104-square-kilometre (426 sq mi) territory, Hong Kong is the fourth most densely populated region in the world. Originally a sparsely populated area of farming and fishing villages, the territory is now one of the world’s most significant financial centres and commercial ports. Hong Kong is the world’s third-ranked global financial centre (behind New York City and London), ninth-largest exporter, and eighth-largest importer. Its currency, the Hong Kong dollar, is the ninth most traded currency in the world. Home to the seventh-highest number of billionaires of any city in the world, Hong Kong has the largest number of ultra high-net-worth individuals.

Submission Guidelines

All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. The following paper categories are welcome:

• Authors should submit papers reporting original work that are currently not under review or published elsewhere. Accepted full papers will be published in the conference proceedings. Submissions for full papers must be no less than 12 pages and not exceed 15 pages (including citations) in CCIS (Communications in Computer and Information Science) format. We encourage authors to cite related work comprehensively, and when citing conference papers please also consider to cite their extended journal versions if applicable.

  ICCI 2025 will employ double-blind reviewing process, every research paper submitted to ICCI 2025 will undergo a “double-blind” reviewing process: the PC members and referees who review the paper will not know the identity of the authors.
