KES 2025 : 29th International Conference on Knowledge-Based and Intelligent Information & Engineering Systems

We are pleased to announce that the KES 2025 conference will take place in the beautiful city of Osaka, Japan, organised by KES International.

The conference will be held in Osaka, Japan. Osaka is a large port city and commercial center on the Japanese island of Honshu. It's known for its modern architecture, nightlife and hearty street food. The 16th-century shogunate Osaka Castle, which has undergone several restorations, is its main historical landmark. It's surrounded by a moat and park with plum, peach and cherry-blossom trees. Sumiyoshi-taisha is among Japan’s oldest Shinto shrines.

The conference will consist of keynote talks, oral and poster presentations, invited sessions and workshops, on the applications and theory of intelligent systems and related areas.

The conference proceedings will be published in Elsevier's Procedia Computer Science open access journal, available in ScienceDirect and submitted to be indexed/abstracted in CPCi (ISI conferences and part of Web of Science), Engineering Index, and Scopus. The conference is ranked 'B in the CORE conference ranking system'.
