CFP: 2025 RIVF International Conference on Computing and Communication Technologies (RIVF)
December 18-20, 2025
Ho Chi Minh city, Vietnam
http://rivf2025.org
Hosted by Van Lang University, Vietnam

Started in 2003, The Research, Innovation and Vision for the Future (RIVF) conference has become a major scientific event for researchers, professionals, and students in the field of Computing and Communication Technologies, not only in Vietnam but also worldwide. Over the past two decades, RIVF has been held 18 times across major cities in Vietnam, marking its strong national and international presence. Specifically, the conference has been hosted in Hanoi (2003, 2004, 2007, 2010, 2013, 2016, 2021, 2023), Da Nang (2009, 2019, 2024), Ho Chi Minh City: (2006, 2008, 2012, 2020, 2022), and Can Tho (2005, 2015).

This year, the 19th RIVF, also known as RIVF 2025, is hosted by Van Lang University in the vibrant city of Ho Chi Minh. It continues to offer an opportunity for researchers and innovators to discuss problems, share results, identify emerging issues, and establish academic collaborations in various disciplines of computing and communications. All RIVF conference proceedings have been indexed at DBLP (https://dblp.org/db/conf/rivf/index.html), IEEEXplore (https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/conhome/1001965/all-proceedings) and Scopus.
