CALL FOR PAPERS Second Workshop on "Next-Generation Models for Generative AI" (In conjunction with the Fifth International Conference on Digital Data Processing 2025) University of Bedfordshire, Luton. UK August 18-20, 2025 (IEEE CPS will publish the proceedings, and papers should follow the IEEE template) AI models use billions of parameters to detect and retrieve text and images. The currently available LL models are being tested for efficiency, while newer models are also being developed. There are many challenges associated with generative AI. The pre-training volume and efficiency are a focus. To leverage the training set with comprehensiveness and accuracy, billions of parameters are injected into the LLM. Current GPTs face criticism, and governments are cautious about their use. The agenda for the future of Generative AI needs to be clarified. Improved generative tools should be capable of characterising extremist narratives in corpora to reveal different contexts, which may lead to building semantic-rich content for end-users. Evaluating the current models and their outcomes may inform future research. Considering these issues, we organised a workshop to address the theme of next-generation models. The workshop themes include, but are not limited to, the following. Text, Image, Code, Video, 3D models Domain-specific models Impact of Generative AI on Teaching and Learning Knowledge and Semantic Issues in Generative AI Future LLM AI Ethical Issues AI and NLP Embedding in AI Reinforcement learning Data Support and Datasets in AI Standards and Benchmarks Compositional generative models Workshop Chairs Gloria Tengyue Li North China University of Technology Beijing China Simon Fong University of Macau Macau Hathairat Ketmaneechairat King Mongkut’s University of Technology North Bangkok, Thailand Important Dates Submission of Papers: June 20, 2025 Notification of Acceptance/Rejection: July 15, 2025 Camera-ready: August 10, 2025 Registration: August 10, 2025 Conference Dates: August 18-20, 2025 Post-Conference Proceedings Release: November 30, 2025 Paper Submission: http://socio.org.uk/ddp/paper-submission Contact: ddp@socio.org.uk

Fifth International Conference on Digital Data Processing (DDP 2025) University of Bedfordshire. Luton. (Near London) UK. August 18-20, 2025 (www.socio.org.uk/ddp) (IEEE Publication) (Virtual Presentation/Physical) As technology advances in different sub-domains of computing, data-driven models are becoming increasingly important. The data-dependent world now faces many challenges in terms of data accuracy and data privacy. High-impact advancements include machine learning, artificial intelligence, deep learning and many more. Data is growing exponentially in terms of diversity and complexity. One organization or industry processes over a few million transactions per hour and stores hundreds of billions of data. We live in a world with a great need for more efficient data analysis and processing. Data analytics can reveal hidden patterns, complex relationships, internal information relations, and even segmentation. Data applications have opened up new possibilities in every aspect of our lives. Studying data and its structure, dynamics, and modern data technologies is an ongoing process. There is a great deal of literature and research on data management, but it does not address the data processing needs. Many studies focus on developing models and systems for analysing large datasets. Data analysis leads to application domains that have a systematic impact on decisions. The knowledge gained from the data analysis enables the generation of critical information for multiple domains. In this conference, we review and discuss the latest trends in data management, the opportunities and challenges, and how they have affected organizations' ability to develop effective business and technology strategies and stay up-to-date in data technology. We also highlight current open research directions in data analytics that need further attention. The proposed conference will discuss topics not limited to Data applications in various domains and activities Data in cloud Real-world data processing Data inaccuracy and reliability issues Data Ecosystem Business Analytics New data analytics techniques Physical and management challenges Synthetic data Data synthesis Crowdsourcing and Sensing Data modelling Deep learning techniques Data fusion Descriptive analytics, Diagnostic analytics, Predictive Analytics, and Prescriptive analytics Machine learning impact on data processing Network optimization Data in Biomedical Engineering Data in Materials science and mechanics Data handling and applications in domains Wireless Networking Data Management Data of Electronic & Embedded Systems Multi-media Systems Data Artificial Intelligence Models and Systems Data E-Computing Data Renewable Energies Data General Chair General Chair Ezendu Ariwa Warwick University, UK Program Chairs Youshan Zhang, Yeshiva University, USA Simon Fong, University of Macau, Macau Duong Van Hieu, Tien Giang University, Vietnam Program Co-chairs Martin Lopez Nores, University of Vigo, Spain Frankie Wilson, University of Oxford.
