WCTP2025

Workshop on Computation: Theory and Practice
December 1st — 3th, 2025
Chitose Arcadia Plaza, Chitose-city, Hokkaido, Japan

Computation should be a good blend of theory and practice. Researchers in the field should create algorithms to address real world problems putting equal weight to analysis and implementation. Experimentation and simulation can be viewed as yielding to refined theories or improved applications.

WCTP 2025 is the 14th workshop organized by Institute of Science Tokyo, Chitose Institute of Science and Technology, Kyoto Tachibana University, University of the Philippines-Diliman and De La Salle University-Manila that is devoted to theoretical and practical approaches to computation. It aims to present the latest developments by theoreticians and practitioners in academe and industry working to address computational problems that can directly impact the way we live in society.

WCTP 2025 will feature work-in-progress presentations of prominent researchers selected by members of its Program Committee who come from highly distinguished institutions in Japan and the Philippines. The presentation at the workshop will certainly provide high quality comments and discussion that future research can benefit from.

Topics

The WCTP 2025 program will consist of invited talks by prominent researchers and contributed talks from submitted papers selected by the Program Committee. All sessions will be devoted to original research. Major topics of the workshop include, but are not limited to, the followings:

Theory of Computation:
Model of computation, Logic, Design and analysis of algorithms, etc.
Software and its engineering
Software organization and properties, Software creation and management, etc.
Security and Privacy
Formal methods and theory of security, Security services, Software and application security, Human and societal aspects of security and privacy, etc.
Human-centered computing
Human computer interaction(HCI), Interaction design, Collaborative and social computing, Ubiquitous and mobile computing, etc
Computing methodologies
Symbolic and algebraic manipulation, Artificial intelligence, Machine learning, Concurent computing methodologies, etc.
Applied computing
Enterprise computing, Life and medical sciences, Education, Computers in other domains, etc.
Health informatics
Clinical informatics, population health informatics, clinical decision support systems, mobile computing for health, health monitoring systems etc.

Submission

Submissions related to the topics of the workshop are very much welcome. Submissions that relate results from other areas to the workshop topics are also encouraged. Submitted papers should preferably be typeset in LaTeX2e using the style file. We recommend the usual page limits of around 15 pages.

Any submission should include the session name, the title of the paper, names and affiliations of authors, an abstract of 70-150 words, and the contact author's name, phone number, fax number, and email address. The session names are as follows:

  • Theoretical Approaches to Computations,
  • Practical Approaches to Computation,
  • Computation for Community-based Applications,
  • Computation Contributing to the Health and Medical Care Field.

Submissions must be in English. The paper must be unpublished and not submitted for publication elsewhere, including journals and proceedings of other symposia or workshops. One author of each accepted paper should be able to present it at the workshop. All submissions should be in PDF file format and uploaded via the Easychair Conference System.

LaTeX style files and Microsoft Word's template files are available from the following links, which the authors must use.

Accepted full papers will be published as the post-proceedings by Atlantis Press.

Peer-Review Policy

WCTP2025 is committed to ensuring the highest level of academic integrity, which includes a thorough and rigorous peer-review process.

  1. Submission: All submitted papers will be checked for relevance to the conference themes and scope. The submission should not have been previously published or under review elsewhere.
  2. Initial Screening: Each submission will undergo an initial screening for formatting, language quality, and adherence to submission guidelines.
  3. Double-Blind Review: Submissions passing the initial screening will then go through a double-blind peer-review process. This means the identities of the authors and reviewers are not disclosed to each other. The submissions are evaluated based on originality, technical soundness, clarity of presentation, relevance to conference themes, and potential impact in both theoretical and practical aspects of computer science.
  4. Reviewer Assignment: Each submission is typically reviewed by at least two expert reviewers within the field. The review panel is selected based on their expertise, and any potential conflicts of interest are considered and managed.
  5. Revision and Resubmission: Based on the reviews, papers may be accepted, rejected, or returned to the authors with requests for revision and resubmission. Authors must address the reviewers' comments systematically in their revision and provide a detailed response to the reviewers' comments.
  6. Final Decision: The final decision regarding acceptance of a paper is made by the Program Committee, considering the reviewers' feedback and the paper's contribution to the conference's diversity and balance.

Our peer-review process is designed to ensure that all accepted papers meet high standards of quality, originality, and relevance to the conference themes. By submitting a paper to WCTP2025, authors agree to undergo this process.
