The Thirty Seventh International Conference on Software Engineering and Knowledge Engineering (SEKE25) will be held both as a live conference at the Hotel Habitat 79 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 at bringing together experts in software engineering and knowledge engineering to discuss on relevant results in either software engineering or knowledge engineering or both. Special emphasis will be put on the transference of methods between both domains. The themes this year are (a) AI and software engineering & knowledge engineering, and (b) SEKE education.

New Special Theme on SEKE Education:

The new theme on SEKE education can be interpreted more narrowly as how to teach software engineering and knowledge engineering courses more effectively during the time of the pandemic. It can also be interpreted it more broadly as how to teach ANY course more effectively using software engineering and knowledge engineering ways of thinking, methodology and techniques/tools. Papers are invited on SEKE education to deal with philosophical, methodological and instructional and tools, including innovative AI solutions and experimental results.

Special 35th Anniversary Issue of IJSEKE journal:

Best ranked papers from the SEKE25 conference as well as invited papers by authors of the most cited papers from IJSEKE will be published in a super-sized special issue of the International Journal of Software Engineering and Knowledge Engineering (IJSEKE) to be published in December 2025 for early dissemination. Page charges for invited SEKE25 papers published in the special anniversary issue will be waived if they have also been presented live at the SEKE25 live conference.


Special Sessions:

Special Session proposals are welcome. The deadline is May 1, 2025. Each special session may lead to a special issue in IJSEKE.

Co-Located Conference:

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