[CFP] International Conference on AI and Multimodal Services (AIMS 2025)

AI and mobile Internet have revolutionized the computing paradigm in multiple domains, such as economics, finance, e-commerce, etc. The renaming of the International Conference on AI and Mobile Services to the International Conference on AI and Multimodal Services reflects the evolving landscape of technology and services. The term "multimodal" encompasses a broader range of applications and services beyond just mobile, including various interaction modes such as voice, text, video, and other forms of digital communication, as well as various interaction channels such as mobile, Web, and API. This change signifies our commitment to staying at the forefront of innovation and addressing the comprehensive needs of the modern digital ecosystem. By adopting a more inclusive title, we aim to attract a wider audience and foster interdisciplinary collaboration, enhancing the impact and relevance of the conference. The International Conference on AI and Multimodal Services (AIMS) is the emerging theme-topic conference for the development, publication, discovery, orchestration, invocation, testing, delivery, certification, and management of artificial intelligence (AI) and multimodal applications and services.

Sponsored by Services Society and Springer, AIMS 2018 was successfully held on June 25 - June 30, 2018, in Seattle, USA. AIMS 2019 was successfully held on June 25 - 30, 2019, in San Diego, USA. AIMS 2020 and AIMS 2021 were successfully held virtually over the Internet. AIMS 2022 and AIMS 2023 were successfully held on December 10 - 14, 2022, and September 23 - 26, 2023, in Honolulu, Hawaii, USA. AIMS 2024 was successfully held on November 16 - 19, 2024, in Bangkok, Thailand. In 2025, we will celebrate our 2025 version of gathering, to strive to advance the largest international professional forum on AI and multimodal services.

AIMS 2025 is a member of the Services Conference Federation (SCF). SCF 2025 will have the following 10 collocated service-oriented sister conferences: 2025 International Conference on Web Services (ICWS 2025), 2025 International Conference on Cloud Computing (CLOUD 2025), 2025 International Conference on Services Computing (SCC 2025), 2025 International Conference on Big Data (BigData 2025), 2025 International Conference on AI & Multimodal Services (AIMS 2025), and 2025 International Conference on Metaverse (METAVERSE 2025), 2025 International Conference on Internet of Things (ICIOT 2025), 2025 International Conference on Cognitive Computing (ICCC 2025), 2025 International Conference on Edge Computing (EDGE 2025), and 2025 International Conference on Blockchain (ICBC 2025).

As the founding member of the Services Conference Federation (SCF), the first International Conference on Web Services (ICWS) was held in June 2003 in Las Vegas, USA. Meanwhile, the First International Conference on Web Services - Europe 2003 (ICWS-Europe 2003) was held in Germany in October 2003. ICWS-Europe'03 is an extended event of the 2003 International Conference on Web Services (ICWS 2003) in Europe. In 2004, ICWS-Europe was changed to the European Conference on Web Services (ECOWS), which was held in Erfurt, Germany.

To celebrate its 22-year-old birthday, SCF 2025 will be held on September 27 - 30, 2025, in Hong Kong, China.

The Proceedings of AIMS 2025 will be published in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) by Springer International Publishing AG. For all 10 collocated conferences of SCF 2025, the content of this proceedings volume will be made freely accessible to anyone in Springer’s digital library after four years upon publication.

Currently, the Abstracting and Indexing services covered by Springer’s data feeds for LNCS proceedings include ISI Conference Proceedings Citation Index (included in Web of Science), Engineering Index EI (Compendex and Inspec databases), DBLP, Google Scholar, IO-Port, MathSciNet, Scopus, and ZBlMath.

The Best Paper Awards will be sponsored by Services Society and Springer, which is a leading global scientific, technical, and medical portfolio, providing researchers in academia, scientific institutions, and corporate R&D departments with quality content through innovative information, products, and services.

Extended versions of selected papers will be invited for special issues in the Services Transactions on Internet of Things (STIOT), Services Transactions on Big Data (STBD), Services Transactions on Services Computing (STSC), Services Transactions on Cloud Computing (STCC), International Journal of Web Services Research (IJWSR), and International Journal of Business Process Integration and Management (IJBPIM). IJBPIM is indexed by Scopus and IJWSR is indexed by SCI and EI [Link].
