In the age of big data, machine learning technology has been effectively utilized in various fields such as image processing, genomics, engineering computing, macroeconomic forecasting, and medical diagnosis. However, despite its success, applying data-driven computing and machine learning in engineering analytics still presents many unresolved challenges. With the aim of promoting research and the application of big data analysis, data-driven computing, and artificial intelligence in engineering, as well as fostering scientific exchanges among scientists, practitioners and engineers from related disciplines, the International Conference on Data-Driven Computing and Machine Learning in Engineering (DACOMA) conference has been successfully held since 2019. The first DACOMA conference was held in 2019 in Shanghai, China and was hosted by Tongji University, with Prof. Hehua Zhu and Prof. Timon Rabczuk as its chairs. The second DACOMA conference was hosted by Tsinghua University in 2022, with Prof. Zhanli Liu and Prof. Xiaoying Zhuang as its chairs. The third DACOMA conference was hosted by Beijing Institute of Technology in 2023, with Prof. Pengwan Chen, Prof. Zhanli Liu and Prof. Xiaoying Zhuang as its chairs. The fourth DACOMA was hosted by Hohai University in 2024, with Prof. Hongwu Tang, Prof. Timon Rabczuk and Prof. Hehua Zhu as its chairs.

The 5^th International Conference on Data-Driven Computing and Machine Learning in Engineering (DACOMA-25) will be held in Beijing, the capital of China, 10-12 October, 2025. DACOMA-25 will be hosted by Chinese Society of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, Beijing Society of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, Tsinghua University, and jointly organized by Peking University, Beijing International Center for Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, Leibniz University Hannover, Tongji University, Bauhaus University Weimar, Beijing Institute of Technology, German Association of Computational Mechanics, Chinese Association of Computational Mechanics and Beijing Society of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics. The conference will be held with Professor Zhuo Zhuang and Professor Timon Rabczuk, prominent scholars in the field of computational mechanics, serving as the conference chairs. This year's conference will continue to focus on machine learning and AI in general for relevant topics in Engineering and Science.

We sincerely invite experts, colleagues, and students in the fields of data-driven computational mechanics and machine learning to participate in the conference. We are looking forward to seeing you in Beijing. We believe that you will enjoy the wide variety of activities of the DACOMA-25, as well as your stay in this elegant city.
