The 2025 International Conference on Frontiers of Intelligent Computing: Theory and Applications (FICTA) aims to bring together researchers, scientists, engineers, students and practitioners to exchange and share their theories, methodologies, new ideas, experiences, application in all areas of intelligent computing theories, methodologies and its applications. The theme of the FICTA conference series focuses on the domain of intelligent computing theories and the application to Computer sciences as well as other domains of engineering. All accepted, presented and registered papers under this conference will be published in Springer-Smart Innovation, Systems and Technologies (SIST) Series.

The school has a number of research centres and groups, including The AI and Data Science research group (AI&DS) has a long history dating back to 1999 (known then as the Intelligent Systems research group) of fulfilling its aim to improve the quality of products, services and security issues by the incorporation and application of artificial intelligence, machine learning, data analytics and visualisation techniques. The group has improved a wide variety of digital systems, devices, and software in domestic, medical and industrial settings; and provided automated solutions to a variety of complex social challenges. A recent important research grant challenge that the ISRG has been involved with is the new Horizon 2020 European Grant. The ISRG, as part of a consortium of 17 EU partners, began working on the grant in August 2018. The grant is worth five million euros, distributed between 17 partners. The project has now been successfully completed and the impact of this research is highly significant to the British economy, security, public health and the community, as the main initial beneficiaries are West Midlands Regional Police and Thames Valley Police. AI & DS research group has successfully hosted the 12th edition of this conference FICTA 2024 in the recent past; and now feels proud to host the 13th edition of this conference FICTA 2025.
