The 17th International Conference on the Frontiers of Information Technology, Applications and Tools (FITAT) is shaping up to be an annual conference to provide a platform for presentations and discussions of recent developments and future trends in Information Technology.

The FITAT 2025 is emerging as a leading forum for IT professionals and researchers to discuss and present the latest research trends and results in the field of Information Technology (IT). It has been promising to be an exciting event that will host leading IT researchers from across the globe and will provide opportunities to build international research collaborations.

The FITAT 2025 will discuss the challenges facing information technology professionals in not only database technologies, biomedical informatics, and intelligent technologies but also new and current IT applications as usual. In line with new trends, the 17th FITAT 2025 will focus more on Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies and new creatable applications while still including existing research discussion topics.

Starting with the 2008 conference in Mongolia and the 2009 conference in Korea, FITAT has been held in countries such as Korea, China, Mongolia, Thailand, Vietnam, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. There was a break in 2022 due to COVID-19, and the conference was then held in 2023 (Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia) and 2024 (Jinan, China). Within FITAT, there are specialized workshops such as ICW and BIBM.

In 2020 and 2021, IIHMSP–FITAT was jointly held. The proceedings have been jointly published in IEEE and Springer conference books, and also in the ACM Digital Library.

In 2025, the conference is scheduled to be held in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, from December 11 to 14, with paper management through the CMT submission system. A total of 131 papers from 15 countries were submitted; each was reviewed by 2–3 reviewers, and 61 papers from 10 countries were finally accepted (an acceptance rate of about 46.5%).

FITAT 2025 will be held in Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam, on December, 2025
