Journal-First. The aim of the Journal-First (JF) submission category is to further enrich the
program of ICTSS, as well as to provide an overall more flexible path to publication and
dissemination of original research that is within the scope of ICTSS. A submission in this
category must adhere to the following criteria:
■ It should be clearly within the scope of the conference.
■ It should be recent: it should have been accepted and made publicly available in a journal
(online or in print) by January 1, 2023 or more recently.
■ It has not been presented at, and is not under consideration for, Journal- First tracks of other
conferences or workshops.
■ The submission has to be in the form of a 4-page extended abstract and has to provide a
concise summary of the published journal paper.
■ It must be marked as such in the submission’s, and must explicitly include full bibliographic
details (including a DOI) of the journal publication they are based on. Since the referenced
journal papers have already been reviewed and accepted by the corresponding journals,
submissions in the JF category will not be reviewed again for technical content. Submissions will
be judged on the basis of the above criteria, but also considering how well they would
complement the conference’s technical program. Accepted submissions in this category will be
part of the proceedings of ICTSS 2025, with the title equal to the original title of the article with
the prefix.

*CFP: 1st International Workshop on Web3 Applications and the eVolution
of dEcentralized finance (WAVE) 2025 @ IEEE ISCC 2025*
https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/wave2025/home
2-5 July 2025, Bologna, Italy
Accepted papers will be published by IEEE and will be available via the
IEEE Xplore.
Motivation and Rationale
Web3 and Decentralized Finance (DeFi) are two key factors of the new
Internet era. They are redefining the landscape of digital
communications and distributed systems, offering new opportunities for
secure, resilient, and scalable applications. The worldwide adoption of
Web3 is reshaping how users experience Internet services by including
concepts such as decentralization, democratization and rewarding in
existing services. The main engine of Web3 is blockchain technology.
However, there are numerous areas where there is room for improvement.
To begin with, most Web3 applications revolve around DeFi, however, the
decentralisation offered by blockchain technology could help plenty of
scenarios. Promising scenarios are supply chains, health, decentralized
storage, data sharing, power grids, virtual worlds (like the Metaverse)
and many more. Additionally, there are other scenarios where Web3 could
have a meaningful impact, including IoT, vehicular networks, cloud and
edge computing, digital identities, intellectual property management,
digital twins, and integration with the physical world. DeFi is still
quite far from perfect. Indeed, fungible and non-fungible assets are
constantly evolving to include more advanced functionalities as so to
increase their adoption. Moreover, DeFi was shown to be susceptible to
malicious activity, including fake NFTs, sleepminting, washtrading, rug
pull, pump and dump, Maximal Extractable Value and other scams. Finding
solutions to foresee and prevent such malevolent practices becomes
crucial for the true adoption of this technology. Lastly, blockchain
technology has some inherent limitations that are still to be addressed,
including creating efficient consensus protocols for public blockchains,
and secure channels for transaction confirmation among others.
The Web3 Applications and the eVolution of dEcentralized finance (WAVE)
workshop analyses the technological challenges and the potential of Web3
and DeFi applications. By bringing together researchers and
practitioners, the workshop aims to attract contributions that can
discuss how these emerging technologies can shape the future of
blockchain, and address the challenges of their adoption. Papers on both
theoretical and design aspects are welcomed, which describe and evaluate
novel design methods and system prototypes. The workshop also welcomes
work-in-progress and position papers.

*** Call for Late Breaking Results ***
20th International Conference on Persuasive Technology (PERSUASIVE 2025)
May 5-7, 2025, 5* St. Raphael Resort and Marina, Limassol, Cyprus
https://2025.persuasivetech.org
(*** Proceedings to be published by Springer in LNCS ***)
In a world in which technology is increasingly present in people’s lives, and changing human
behavior and attitudes is often the key to solving many societal and personal problems,
studying how technology might be used to influence humans (in their behavior, attitudes and
information processing), is paramount.
Persuasive Technology is a vibrant interdisciplinary research field, focusing on the design,
development and evaluation of interactive technologies aimed at influencing people’s attitudes
and/or behaviors through persuasion, but not through coercion or deception. The research
community aims at enriching people’s lives in various domains such as health and sustainability
by supporting people in setting and achieving their own goals, thus helping them change their
behavior.
The 2025 conference will be hosted in Limassol, Cyprus at the 5* St. Raphael Resort and Marina.
The previous successful conferences have been organized in Wollongong, Limassol, Eindhoven,
Stanford, Oulu, Claremont, Copenhagen, Columbus, Linköping, Sydney, Padua, Chicago,
Salzburg, Amsterdam, and Waterloo. The conference series seeks to bring together researchers
and practitioners from industry and academia working with various topics of persuasive
technology.
SCOPE
The scope of the conference includes (but is not limited to) the following topics:
• Persuasive systems’ design
• Behavior change support systems
• Interaction with persuasive systems, interfaces, visualization
• Interactive agents in persuasive systems
• (Generative) AI for persuasive technology
• Tailored and personalized persuasion
• Gamification for persuasion
• Evaluation and validation of persuasive applications
• Fitting methods for development, evaluation and implementation of persuasive systems
• Optimizing engagement with persuasive systems
• Software architectures and technical infrastructures for persuasive systems
• Smart environments, e.g. IoT, and persuasion
• Digital Marketing, eCommerce, eTourism and SMART ecosystems
• Motivational, cognitive and perceptual factors in persuasive technology
• Application domains for persuasive technologies such as safety, healthy living, sustainable
behaviors, learning and training, marketing and commerce, work environments, organizations
• Positive technology
• Humanizing and/or dehumanizing effects of persuasive technology
• Values and ethics in persuasive technology
• Privacy, perceived security and trust in persuasive technology
• Resilience and counter-persuasion
• Detecting persuasive strategies in social media posts
• Encouraging adherence to safety measures in pandemic situations
Questions that we hope to be addressed include, but are not limited to:
• How to recognize and demonstrate the real life effects of persuasive technology on people’s
attitudes and behaviours?
• How to conduct studies that not just show their effectiveness but are also able to explain in
more detail why a design or intervention works?
• How to design an evaluation study so that it yields insights that are applicable to other
designs or interventions?
• How theoretical insight can help improve application and/or intervention planning and design?
• How can design and intervention studies improve theory?
LATE BREAKING RESULTS
We welcome submissions for Late Breaking Results. The papers in this category cover new
research in any topic that regular paper submissions cover and are expected to present new
and emerging results. Authors should submit a 6-8 pages paper (excluding references) in
Springer LNCS format:
