Foreword:
This book contains the proceedings of the 17th International Joint Conference on Knowledge Discovery, Knowledge Engineering and Knowledge Management (IC3K). This year, IC3K was taking place in Marbella, Spain, from 22 to 24 October 2025. The event was sponsored by the Institute for Systems and Technologies of Information, Control and Communication (INSTICC). The 2025 edition of IC3K was also organized in cooperation with the ACM Special Interest Group on Artificial Intelligence and the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence.
The purpose of IC3K is to bring together researchers, engineers and practitioners in the areas of Knowledge Discovery, Knowledge Engineering and Knowledge Management. IC3K is composed of three co-located conferences, International Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Information Retrieval (KDIR), International Conference on Knowledge Engineering and Ontology Development (KEOD), and International Conference on Knowledge Management and
Information Systems (KMIS), each specialized in at least one of the aforementioned main knowledge areas.
IC3K 2025 received 163 paper submissions from 40 countries, of which 19% were accepted for publication as full papers. A double-blind paper review was performed for each submission by at least 2, but usually 3 or more, members of the International Program Committee, which was composed of established researchers and domain experts.
The high quality of the IC3K 2025 program is enhanced by the keynote lectures delivered by distinguished speakers who are renowned experts in their fields: Richard Chbeir (Université de Pau et des Pays de l'Adour (UPPA), France), Henry Prakken (Utrecht University, Netherlands) and Valentina Presutti (University of Bologna, Italy).
All papers presented at the conference will be made available in the SCITEPRESS Digital Library and submitted for indexing evaluation by SCOPUS, Google Scholar, The DBLP Computer Science Bibliography, Semantic Scholar, Engineering Index and Web of Science / Conference Proceedings Citation Index.
Several awards, based on the combined marks of paper reviewing, as assessed by the Program Committee, and the quality of the presentation, as assessed by session chairs at the conference venue, were conferred at the conference's closing session as recognition for the best contributions.
The authors of the selected papers will be invited to submit an extended version of their paper for inclusion in the forthcoming IC3K Selected Papers book, which will be published by Springer as part of the CCIS Series. Some papers will also be selected for publication as extended and revised versions in a special issue of the Springer Nature Computer Science Journal.
The program for this conference was made possible through the dedicated efforts of many people. Firstly, we would like to thank the authors, whose research is presented here. Next, we would like to thank the members of the Program Committee and the additional reviewers for their hard work and professionalism in reviewing the papers. We would also like to express our deepest gratitude to the invited speakers for their invaluable contributions and for taking the time to prepare their presentations. Finally, we would like to express our appreciation for the hard work of the INSTICC team. Organizing a conference of this level is a task that can only be achieved by the collaborative effort of a dedicated and highly competent team.
We hope that you find the conference exciting and inspiring. We hope that we have contributed to the development of our research community, and we look forward to hearing about more research results at the next IC3K conference. You can find more details at https://ic3k.scitevents.org.
