The 14th Conference on Prestigious Applications of Intelligent Systems (PAIS-2025) will be held in close association with the 28th European Conference of Artificial Intelligence (ECAI-2025) in the historic city of Bologna during 25-30 October 2025.
PAIS is the largest showcase of real applications using AI technology worldwide and is the ideal place to meet developers of successful applications, discuss limitations of current algorithms, needs for future applications and algorithms, as well as novel methods in data collection and machine learning.
This year’s conference will focus on the impact of current AI-based solutions on critical issues related to law, mobility, and environment, and their complex interplay. We welcome submissions of papers that evaluate the values and issues of current AI solutions and shed light on where we need to be investing our efforts in practical solutions for the social good. Our aim is to provide a forum for academic and industrial researchers and practitioners to share experiences and insights on the applicability, development, and deployment of intelligent systems. We welcome papers on all aspects of the application of intelligent systems technology.
We welcome papers demonstrating novel and significant applications. We encourage submissions on deployed (i.e., in production use for some time) and emerging applications (e.g., in the field, lab testing, or simulations, such as prototypes). Papers considering deployed applications should clearly highlight the benefits of the application, describe how AI methods are applied or enhanced, and finally present the contribution of AI methods to the overall success. Authors should also attempt to distill lessons learned that can be useful to apply the AI methods employed to other applications. For emerging applications, authors must convincingly argue that the use of AI is beneficial, not to say essential, for the success of the application.
Submissions will be evaluated based on relevance, significance of contribution, impact, technical quality, quality of presentation, and maturity of the application.
Reviewing for PAIS is single-blind, so (unlike for ECAI) submissions are not required to be anonymous, accounting for the fact that ensuring anonymity for papers on fielded applications is often impossible.
The conference is planned as an in-person event. Each accepted paper will get assigned either an oral presentation slot or a combined poster/spotlight presentation slot. This assignment will be made based on the suggestions of the PCs (subject to program constraints).
The open-access proceedings will be published by IOS Press, in a single volume together with papers accepted to ECAI.
