EAI Safer-TEA 2025 focuses on advancing safe, secure, ethical, and responsible technologies in the era of digital transformation. As AI, machine learning, IoT, big data, and next-generation networks continue to reshape industries and societies, it is critical to ensure that these innovations are developed and deployed responsibly. The scope spans diverse domains, from energy, healthcare, finance, and transportation to governance, climate systems, and human-centered applications with a unifying emphasis on building trustworthy, resilient, and inclusive systems. Integrating security, privacy, transparency, and accountability into emerging applications, the conference seeks to promote sustainable and ethical digital futures.

HOW TO WRITE GOOD ALT TEXT

Papers should be submitted through EAI ‘Confy+‘ system, and have to comply with the Springer format (see Author’s kit section).

• Regular papers should be up to 12-20 pages in length.
• Short papers should be 6-11 pages in length.

All conference papers undergo a thorough peer review process prior to the final decision and publication. This process is facilitated by experts in the Technical Program Committee during a dedicated conference period. Standard peer review is enhanced by EAI Community Review which allows EAI members to bid to review specific papers. All review assignments are ultimately decided by the responsible Technical Program Committee Members while the Technical Program Committee Chair is responsible for the final acceptance selection. You can learn more about Community Review here.

Papers must be formatted using the Springer LNICST Authors’ Kit.

Instructions and templates are available from Springer’s LNICST homepage:

• LaTeX2e Proceedings Templates (zip)
• Microsoft Word Proceedings Templates (zip)

Please make sure that your paper adheres to the format as specified in the instructions and templates.

When uploading the camera-ready copy of your paper, please be sure to upload both:

• a PDF copy of your paper formatted according to the above templates, and
