The conference will be structured into a main research track on big data and data science and complemented with tutorials/demos on specific solutions and prototypes developed by industries, research centers and universities, and thematic workshops on specific verticals of big data and data science. The conference will also feature selected distinguished keynote speeches and some panels. ITADATA2025 aims to discuss and shape the future of Big Data and Data Science in Italy and abroad, considering the multidisciplinary, complex, heterogeneous, and data-centric environment in which modern distributed systems are operating. The ability to timely manage and analyze large amounts of data, and to guarantee low-latency access to the data themselves increasingly become critical requirements and are at the heart of modern business processes. In this context, data science, as the foundation of today's data-driven society, plays the role of developing and defining all the technologies needed to support construction of value on data in multidisciplinary areas at increasing complexity. ITADATA2025 covers theoretical and practical research and application pertaining to data, from data governance to data processing and analysis. It also covers research and application in related domains where data and data science technologies are key, such as cloud, edge and IoT, intelligent and high-performance computing, blockchain, security and privacy, assurance and certification. It finally considers and analyzes the evolution of big data and data science at EU and national level, trying to map current activities in the context of data spaces and relevant organizations/associations such as, for instance, the Big Data Value Association (BDVA), as well as policy development, laws, and regulations. ***IMPORTANT DATES (EXTENDED)*** Research Paper/Presentation submissions due: June 30th, 2025 Final notification to authors: July 20th, 2025 Camera-ready paper and registration due: August 3rd, 2025 Tutorial/Demo/Workshop/Panel proposal due: June 30th, 2025 Final notification to proposers: July 7th, 2025 ***CALL FOR RESEARCH PAPERS*** ITADATA2025 welcomes original papers from academia and industry presenting novel research on all theoretical and practical aspects of Big Data and data science including data governance, data processing, data analysis, data reporting, data protection, as well as experimental studies and lessons learned.
