SEKE 2025: Call for Papers

The Thirty Seventh International Conference on Software Engineering and Knowledge Engineering (SEKE25) will be held both as a live conference at the Hotel Habita79 Pompeii, Italy, from September 29 to 30, 2025, and as a virtual conference at the KSIR Virtual Conference Center, USA, from October 1 to 6, 2025.

The conference aims to bring together experts in software engineering and knowledge engineering to discuss relevant results in either or both domains, with a special emphasis on the transference of methods between these fields. Submission of papers and demos are both welcome.

Special Anniversary Issue

The best-ranked papers from the conference will be selected for a special 35th anniversary issue of the International Journal of Software Engineering and Knowledge Engineering (IJSEKE) to be published in December 2025 for early dissemination.

Co-located Conference

The International DMS Conference on Visualization and Visual Languages DMSVIVA25 (http://ksiresearch.org/seke/dmsviva25.html) will be held both as a live conference from September 30 to October 1, 2025, and as a virtual conference from October 1 to 2, 2025. Authors are welcome to contribute papers and attend both conferences.
