The International Symposium on Edge intelligence, Trustworthy and Decentralized Artificial Intelligence (iEDGE 2025)

October 14-17, 2025 | Dubrovnik, Croatia
Conference Venue

Welcome to iEDGE 2025

The International Symposium on Edge intelligence, Edge intelligence, Trustworthy and Decentralized Artificial Intelligence (iEDGE 2025) is a peer reviewed conference that will advance the distributed learning and edge field by giving an opportunity for researchers, engineers, and practitioners to present their latest findings in the field.

It will also invite key persons in the field to share their current knowledge and their future expectations for the field.

iEDGE 2025 is a premier international venue dedicated to advancing research and innovation at the intersection of trustworthy, decentralized, and distributed AI systems. As the scale, complexity, and societal impact of AI systems grow, ensuring trust, privacy, robustness, and decentralization becomes critical.

We invite researchers, practitioners, and innovators from academia and industry to join us in exploring the new frontiers of Decentralized Artificial Intelligence, Trustworthy Machine Learning, and Secure Distributed Systems. Co-located with FLTA 2025, iEDGE focuses on scaling trustworthiness principles beyond federated learning into the broader decentralized AI ecosystem.

The International Symposium on Edge intelligence, Trustworthy and Decentralized Artificial Intelligence (iEDGE 2025) addresses the use of advanced intelligent systems in providing trustworthy decentralized AI solutions in many fields, and the challenges, approaches, and future directions. We invite the submission of original papers on all topics related to trustworthy and decentralized artificial intelligence, with special interest in but not limited to:
