2025 IEEE LA-CCI: 2025 IEEE Latin American Conference on Computational Intelligence Hotel Geneve Mexico City, Mexico, November 5-7, 2025

The 2025 IEEE Latin American Conference on Computational Intelligence (LA-CCI) will be held in Mexico City, Mexico in 2025. IEEE LA-CCI continues its mission to bring together the Soft Computing community to present the latest achievements and innovations across multiple areas of Computational Intelligence. The conference aims to foster participation from young researchers and follow the IEEE LA-CCI Manifesto by providing a high-level international forum for scientists, researchers, engineers, professionals, and educators to disseminate their research results and engage in discussions on the future directions of Computational Intelligence.

We hope that local academy and industry will take active participation in 2025 IEEE LA-CCI. Papers will be reviewed by an international technical committee under the IEEE standard procedure and accepted papers must be presented in oral session. This process is mandatory for the paper to be published in the conference proceedings (IEEE Xplore database, including ISBN).

Submission Guidelines

We invite authors to submit high-quality full papers reporting original and novel research results on all above topics. Papers must be written in English, must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. Full papers must be formatted as the standard IEEE double-column conference template and submitted exclusively using the link https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=lacci2025. Maximum 6 pages are allowed for each paper, including all illustrations and references.

Publication and Special Issues:

1. Selected papers of 2025 IEEE LACCI will be indexed by IEEE Xplore library
2. Top papers of 2025 IEEE LA-CCI will be published as extended versions in top journals related to the area.
