The International Conference on Intelligent Environments (IE) is in its twenty-first year and is now recognized as a major annual venue in the area. IE, which has been hosted worldwide, offers a truly international forum and welcomes contributions from all over the planet. Intelligent environments refer to physical spaces in which information and communication technologies, artificial intelligence, interface sensing and actuating technologies are woven to create interacting spaces. The ultimate objective of such environments is to enrich users' activities, while allowing users to manage them and be aware of each other’s capabilities.

The 21st International Conference on Intelligent Environments (IE2025) will take place in Darmstadt, Germany. Conveniently located just a 30-minute bus ride from Frankfurt International Airport, the city offers excellent accessibility for global attendees. Renowned as a hub of innovation and research, Darmstadt provides an inspiring setting for the conference. For those unable to attend in person, IE2025 will also offer hybrid (online) participation options.

Conference Program: IE is a multidisciplinary event welcoming contributions from a diversity of various relevant areas, including sensors and actuators, signal processing (incl. audio and images), networking, human-computer interaction, artificial intelligence, software engineering, context-awareness, internet of things, pervasive and ubiquitous computing, applied in domains such as healthcare, education, culture, building environments and smart cities. The event will include regular full/short papers as well as a Doctoral Colloquium, a Posters Session, and Demos & Videos Session and affiliated workshops.

Special Sessions: Within the conference, special tracks will be proposed by members from our scientific community.
Workshops: The event will also be complemented with a varied workshops program (to be announced soon).
Tutorials: Supplementing the workshops, there will be tutorials delivered by well-known colleagues on current relevant topics.
Proposals for workshops, special sessions, or tutorials by: 10 September 2024
Decisions on proposals communicated on: 20 September 2024

Publications: As in previous editions, we expect all papers accepted at the main conference to be published by IEEE-indexed proceedings (currently in negotiation with IEEE, as in previous editions). All papers accepted in the workshops will be published as a volume of the IOS Press Ambient Intelligence and Smart Environments book Series of IOS Press, which is published Open Access and indexed by Clarivate (Web of Science). Both the articles in the IEEE proceedings and the IOS Press books will be ISI-indexed. As in previous years, selected papers will be invited to be extended and submitted to journals for publication.

Keynote Speakers: The conference will include keynote lectures by distinguished speakers from industry and academia.

Industrial Forum: This will be a networking event and an opportunity for the business sector to showcase innovation.

Awards: As in past editions there will be a range of prizes to reward the quality of the contributions made by scientists in our community
