About the IJCACI Series

IJCACI is an established, recurring international conference series organized under the auspices of the Soft Computing Research Society (SCRS). It has been held annually in hybrid mode across multiple host institutions in South Asia and now, for the first time at its 9th edition, at a U.S. institution, Washington University of Science and Technology. SCRS was established in 2013 to promote research in soft computing and allied areas, with its headquarters in New Delhi, India. WUST's selection as co-host of the 9th edition reflects its recognized standing as a serious research institution within the global computational intelligence community.

IJCACI 2025 and WUST's Research Mission

IJCACI 2025 was not simply a conference held at WUST, it was a demonstration of what WUST's research mission looks like in action. WUST appreciates the participation of researchers from across the globe sharing their knowledge, presenting groundbreaking research, and exchanging ideas on the future of computational intelligence.

For WUST students and faculty, IJCACI 2025 provided a direct pathway to present original research on the international stage, engage with leading scholars from 12 countries, and contribute to a Springer-published, SCOPUS-indexed proceedings volume that will serve as a reference in the field for years to come. It is precisely this kind of opportunity, anchored in the Degree. Skill. Career. framework, that defines what a WUST education makes possible.
