ICWE 2025
25th International Conference on Web Engineering
June 30 - July 03, 2025, Delft, Netherlands

ICWE 2025 - AT A GLANCE
The International Conference on Web Engineering (ICWE) is the premier annual conference on Web Engineering and associated technologies. It covers different aspects of Web Engineering, including the design, creation, maintenance, operation, and usage of Web applications.
ICWE aims to bring together researchers and practitioners from various disciplines in academia and industry to tackle the emerging challenges in the engineering of Web applications, the problems and opportunities of its associated technologies, and the impact of those technologies on society and culture.
Following the general debate on the need for human-centric, responsible, and inclusive web technologies, the 25th edition of ICWE in particular invites contributions under the following general theme:
The Inclusive Web: Realizing Safe, Accessible, Inclusive, and Sustainable Web Engineering
We indeed solicit contributions on diverse aspects related to designing innovative Web technology that however results in being fair, ethical, transparent, privacy-preserving, trustworthy, safe, inclusive, and accessible for all.
These aspects relate to a wide spectrum of Web Engineering topics, such as, among others:
- Safety, Inclusivity, and accessibility for the Web
- Fair and explainable web technologies
- Human-Centered vs. More-than-Human web
- Conversational web
- Fake news, misinformation, and online toxicity
- Web security, identity, trust and privacy engineering
- Participatory and deliberative web
- Web application modeling and engineering
- Web infrastructures and architectures
- Web of things, social web and mobile web applications
- Web mining, knowledge extraction and analytics of big data on the Web
- Machine learning, AI and large-language models for web engineering
- Web user interfaces and UX
- User modeling and web-based recommender systems
- Quality aspects of web applications
- Performance, scalability, energy-efficiency and sustainability aspects of web applications
- Semantic web, knowledge graphs, web ontologies, and linked open-data applications
- Web crowdsourcing and human computation
- Web composition and mashups
- Web services, Microservice architecture, computing, workflows, and standards
- Architecting the Web in the cloud continuum, e.g. cloud, fog, edge and server-less computing for Web applications
- Web engineering processes, practices, experience and paradigms, e.g. Agile, Lean
- Re-decentralization of the web
- Web standards and disruptive web technologies
- Comparisons, data sets, empirical studies of web technologies
- Web programming languages, tools and frameworks
In addition to the research track, ICWE 2025 also seeks contributions of industrial papers, demos and posters, student papers at the PhD Symposium, tutorials, and workshops, which will be the subject of individual calls.
SUBMISSIONS TO THE RESEARCH TRACK
This call addresses research contributions in one of the following two categories:
- Full papers (15 pages, Springer LNCS format): mature, original research contributions. Reported results must be supported by some type of evaluation, and also include a justification about the choice/suitability of the evaluation method. In addition, evidence of use in practice and/or demonstration of scalability is regarded as a plus.
- Short papers (8 pages, Springer LNCS format): short papers presenting a discussion – analysis, criticism, proposal, vision, etc. – about relevant aspects of Web engineering topics. These papers are intended to generate discussions that promise potential for research that will impact Web Engineering in the coming years.
Papers must be formatted according to the Springer LNCS authors instructions available at https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines, and must be submitted in PDF format through the ICWE 2025 EasyChair web page: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icwe2025.
Papers submitted to ICWE 2025 must not be under review elsewhere while under consideration for ICWE 2025, nor may have been already previously published elsewhere. Manuscripts that are not in compliance with the required submission format, stated page limits, or that are out of the scope of the conference will be desk rejected without review.
We strongly encourage authors to facilitate replication of their research in order to increase visibility, reproducibility, and impact by making relevant artifacts (data, source code, etc.) available for reviewers and readers.
Upon acceptance, one corresponding author of each paper, acting on behalf of all of the authors of that paper, must complete and sign a Consent-to-Publish form, through which the copyright for their paper is transferred to Springer. Then, at least one author of each accepted submission must register for the conference and present the work during the corresponding session in person.
Accepted contributions will be included in the ICWE 2025 Springer LNCS proceedings. The best papers will be selected to be proposed, in extended form, as part of a special issue of the Journal of Web Engineering (https://journals.riverpublishers.com/index.php/JWE/).
USE OF GENERATIVE AI
Authors should explicitly disclose the use of generative AI and AI-assisted technologies in their manuscripts when these tools are employed for more than just editing the author's text. This disclosure can be made through a statement placed at the end of the manuscript, preceding the References section.
If it comes to our notice that a submission utilizes large language models (LLMs) without clear disclosure, such papers will be subject to immediate desk rejection. However, if there is no usage of such technologies, no disclosure statement is required.
SPRINGER BEST-PAPER AWARD SPONSORSHIP
Springer will sponsor the ICWE 2025 Best Paper Award which will be announced during the ICWE 2025 Banquet.
