Topics, Deadlines and Program Committee

1. Topics

The 13th International Conference on “Software and Emerging Technologies for Education, Culture, Entertainment, and Commerce (SETECEC 2025): New Directions in Multimedia Mobile Computing, Social Networks, Human-Computer Interaction and Communicability” is a scientific meeting for discussing the latest advances in the emerging areas of computer sciences and new technologies for education, cultural and natural heritage, virtual entertainment and digital commerce, for example.

All contributions –papers, posters, workshops, demos, doctoral consortium, research-in-progress, and so on, should be of high quality, originality, and significance. In the current international conference it is demonstrated how with a correct integration among professionals of formal, factual and natural sciences interesting research lines in the following subjects: Artificial Agents in Extended Reality, Computer Art and Creativity, Cyber-culture, Distance Learning, Educational Methodologies, Extended Reality, Gamification, Graphical User Interfaces, HCI, ICT, Intelligence Artificial, Interactive Design, Mobile Computing, Multimedia, Network Security, Machine Learning, Motion Graphics, Quality Evaluation of High Education, Social and Human Factors, Ubiquitous Computing, Users and Adaptive Interfaces, UX, Videogame Technologies, Visual Effects and Computer Graphics; and other computational areas are solicited on, but not limited to (alphabetical order):

• 3D Visualization
• Brain-Computer Interfaces
• Business Intelligence Technology
• Children-Computer Interaction
• Cloud Computing
• Collaborative Technologies
• Communicability
• Computational Archaeology
• Computer Animation
• Computer Games Design
• Creative Open Software
• Cross-Cultural Design
• Cultural and Natural Heritage
• Cyber-bullying
• Education and Virtual Agents
• Emerging Technologies
• Ergonomics
• Games Design
• Gardunia Factor in Education
• Holographic Three-dimensional Telepresence
• Intelligent Systems
• Marketing and Commerce Online
• Metaverse
• Mixed / Virtual / Augmented Reality
• New Directions in Social Networks
• New Mass Media
• Scientific Visualization
• Software Engineering

Hence topics from the whole range of education, cultural / natural heritage and new technologies, human-computer interaction, extended reality, software, design, interactive systems, and so on, are welcomed. Last year’s symposia, workshops, conferences, etc., organized by ALAIPO and AInCI, for instance, included research works on the topics (see above the alphabetical order). An extensive listing connotes and reflects the requirement and also skill necessary to find intersection zones of the disciplines among the different domains, fields, and specialities; which at the same time potentially boosts and merges the formerly different scientific views.

Furthermore, many conferences are focussed on specific aspects of computer science; artificial general intelligence; human-computer interaction; advanced interfaces; engineering education; information systems engineering; retrieval information; recommender systems; web engineering; gamification; tangible, embedded and embodied interaction; technological ecosystems, and so forth, and bring together leading experts in a particular field or sometimes on a specific technology. At such large conferences students are often marginalized or relegated to poster / demo or similar sessions, with only 5 – 10 minutes for the presentation/s. This conference is not a "mega scale" (thousands) and aim to promote dialogue between established professors and graduate students working on new directions. Furthermore, we work with zero "G" Factor (G = Garduña / Gardunia).

Finally, all submitted contributions will be reviewed by a double-blind (at least three reviewers), non-blind, and participative peer review. These three kinds of review will support the selection process of those that will be accepted for their presentation at the international conference.  Authors of accepted research works who registered in the conference can have access to the evaluations and possible feedback provided by the reviewers who recommended the acceptance of their works, so they can accordingly improve the final version of their contributions.

This is an international conference “100% in-person.”

2. The conference have the following deadlines

:: Works Submissions: Open. Consequently, as they are received, they will be evaluated. It is a way to speed up the process to make up the final program of the international conference, visa requirements, should plan travel well in advance, and so on. In other words, it is not necessary to wait until the deadline to send them for the evaluation process. 

:: Deadline Works Submissions: April, 12th – local time in Hawaiian Islands  
:: Authors Notification: Some weeks after submission/s 
:: Camera-ready, full papers: May, 2nd
