Publication

Accepted papers will be presented at WISE 2025 and included in the conference proceedings, which is published in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS). Authors of best papers will be invited to submit an expanded version for publication in World Wide Web Journal, Springer, or Data Science and Engineering, Springer.

Policies

Dual Submission

It is not appropriate to submit papers that are identical (or substantially similar) to versions that have been previously published, accepted for publication, or submitted in parallel to other conferences or journals. Such submissions violate our dual submission policy, and the organizers have the right to reject such submissions, or to remove them from the proceedings.

Changes of Title / Abstract / Authorship

Submission titles should not be modified after the abstract submission deadline, and abstracts should not be modified by more than 50% after the abstract submission deadline. The author list at the submission deadline will be considered final, and no changes in authorship will be permitted for accepted papers.

Double-Blind Review

All submitted papers must be anonymous. WISE 2025 follows the double-blind peer review principle. Authors must not include author information in the submitted document and should avoid citations or discussions that would make the authorship apparent.

Reviewing Criteria

Accepted papers must contain significant novel results (theoretical or empirical). Results will be judged on their objective establishment and/or potential for scientific and technological impact. Reproducibility of results and availability of code will be considered.
