Welcome to the fourth edition of The Italian Conference on Big Data and Data Science (ITADATA)! Welcome to Turin! The Italian Conference on Big Data and Data Science (ITADATA) is the annual event of the CINI National Laboratory on Data Science aimed at putting together Italian researchers and professionals from academia, industry and government working in the area of big data and data science, as well as on other related fields such as AI, security, privacy and HPC. The main scope of ITADATA is to discuss and shape the future of Big Data and Data Science, considering the multidisciplinary, complex, heterogeneous, and data-centric environment in which modern distributed systems are operating. Modern business processes increasingly require to timely manage and analyze large amounts of data, and to guarantee low-latency access to the data themselves. In this context, data science plays the fundamental role of developing and defining all the technologies needed to support construction of value on data in multidisciplinary areas at increasing complexity. ITADATA covers both theoretical and practical research pertaining to data, from data governance to data processing and analysis. It also covers research in related domains where data and data science technologies are key, such as cloud, artificial intelligence, edge and IoT, high-performance computing, blockchain, security and privacy, assurance and certification. ITADATA2025 is the fourth edition of the Conference, hosted by Dipartimento di Informatica, Università degli Studi di Torino. This year, in addition to the main research track and the presentation track, ITADATA also includes a discussion paper track, with a summary of already-published papers or papers presenting ongoing work. Two selected distinguished keynote speeches, by Prof. Angela Bonifati, Dr. Horst Simon, and Prof. Emilio Porcu, will be delivered at the conference. Five tutorials on specific methodologies, solutions, and prototypes, three thematic workshops on vertical aspects related to big data and data science, and one panel on data-centric AI complete the program. The fruitful collaboration between the CINI National Laboratory on Data Science and CINI National Lab on "HPC: Key Technologies and Tools" continues also this year with BigHPC, the third edition of the track dedicated to the enabling technologies for data science, including parallel, distributed, network-based, and quantum computing. ITADATA2025 confirmed the growing trend that started in 2022. The conference attracted submissions from national and international researchers of diferent disciplines of interest. More specifically, the conference received a total of 50 submissions (25% increase from 2024). Following a rigorous double-blind review process, each submission was reviewed by at least three experts in the relevant areas for each paper, based on their significance, novelty, technical quality, presentation, and practical impact. After an intense post-review discussion by the program committee, the conference accepted 22 regular paper, 11 discussion papers, and 10 presentations. ITADATA2025 was made possible by the efort of many volunteers who dedicated time and energy for the success of the conference. We would like to thank them all, as well as the program committee members for their eforts in reading, reviewing, and selecting the papers. Our appreciation extends to all the external reviewers for assisting the program committee. The quality of submissions was high and the selection of the papers to be presented was difficult. This process has resulted in a high-quality final program, which will certainly spark interesting discussions during the conference. We would like to thank all authors who submitted their work to the conference and all of you who have come to ITADATA2025, hoping that you find it both stimulating and enjoyable. Finally, we would like to thank all sponsors that contributed to the conference: Anti-Financial Crime Digital Hub, ICSC, Intesa Sanpaolo Innovation Center, Engineering, CeRICT, Namirial, Dipartimento di Informatica of the Università degli Studi di Torino, as well as our supporters INAF, USC-C, and PNRR Project FAIR.
