The 5th IEEE International Conference on Data, Information, Knowledge, and Wisdom (DIKW-2025)



https://hpcn.exeter.ac.uk/dikw2025/



 



Exeter, UK, 13-15 August 2025



INTRODUCTION

=============



Data, Information, Knowledge and Wisdom, in short (DIKW), have been used widely as marking terms in various domains for expressing and exchanging semantic or conceptual subjective or objective understandings. However, there are still no unified understandings over the meaning of the DIKW concepts. Data, Information, Knowledge, and Wisdom as a whole concept of DIKW is also missing unified understandings of the relationships among them. Therefore, there have been proposals and models of DIKW as “layered hierarchy”, “architecture”, “framework”, “network”, “thinking mode”, “pattern”, “style”, “theory”, “methodology”, “model”, “graph”, etc. DIKW-2025 aims to bring together scientists, researchers, and industrial engineers to discuss and exchange experimental and theoretical results, novel designs, work-in-progress and case studies on theories, design mechanisms and extensions on Data, Information, Knowledge and Wisdom interactions in all areas, in all phases, empirical or theoretical solutions.



DIKW-2025 will be hosted in Exeter, the capital city of Devon and provides the county with a central base for education, medicine, religion, commerce and culture. The city is also home to the magnificent Exeter Cathedral, which dates back to Norman times. Exeter is also ideally placed to base a trip to branch out visiting places such as the famous Dartmoor National Park and the unspoilt beaches of the North and South Devon coastlines.



Prospective authors are invited to submit their papers to DIKW-2025. All accepted papers are expected to be included in IEEE Xplore and will be indexed by Engineering Index (EI). The authors of selected best papers will be invited post conference to extend their contributions for special issues of prestigious journals to be planned in conjunction with the conference.

PAPER SUBMISSION GUIDELINE

==========================



All papers need to be submitted electronically through the conference submission website (https://hpcn.exeter.ac.uk/dikw/) with PDF format. The materials presented in the papers should not be published or under submission elsewhere. Each paper is limited to 8 pages (or 12 pages with over length charge) including figures and references using IEEE Computer Society Proceedings Manuscripts style (two columns, single-spaced, 10 fonts).



Once accepted, the paper will be included into the IEEE conference proceedings published by IEEE Computer Society Press (indexed by EI). At least one of the authors of any accepted paper is requested to register the paper at the conference.



 



 



CALL FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS

==============================



DIKW-2025 is inviting proposals for high-quality workshops to complement its scientific program. Workshop topics should fall within the broad area of Data, Information, Knowledge and Wisdom. The workshop organizers are highly encouraged to include interactive and hands-on working sessions.



The organizers of approved workshops are responsible for advertising their workshops, collecting papers, managing the review process, making accepted papers available to workshop participants (e.g., workshop website). Conference facilities such as meeting rooms, wireless Internet and meals will be provided by the main conference local organizers.



 



WORKSHOP PROPOSAL SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS



============================================



Workshop proposals should be formatted as a single PDF document of 1-2 pages, describing the following:




  • The full name and acronym of the workshop

  • A description of the theme of the workshop and its key topics

  • A tentative list of workshop chairs

  • A tentative CFP



 



To Submit: Please email your proposal to dikw2025@googlegroups.com with the title “DIKW Workshop Proposal”.
