During the last decade, we have witnessed fast developments of various networking technologies, and many forms of networking and systems are becoming core parts of our daily lives. With the proliferation of future wireless technologies and electronic devices, there is a fast-growing interest in ubiquitous and future networks. In the coming days, we expect universal communication and networking technologies to become ubiquitous, along with the emergence of many future networking technologies. The ubiquitous and future network will offer multiservice, multimedia services convergence, mobility, service ubiquity, context awareness, fixed mobile convergence, quality of service, variable connectivity, spontaneous networking, autonomic networking and other capabilities as the norm. Building on the success of the last 15 years, the 16th International Conference on Ubiquitous and Future Networks (ICUFN 2025) aims to address advances in research on ubiquitous and future networks, covering topics ranging from technology issues to emerging applications and test-bed developments. ICUFN 2025 solicits original, unpublished contributions in all ubiquitous and future networking and system aspects. Submitted articles must not be concurrently considered elsewhere for publication. We also encourage authors to submit short papers on the early stages of research or development, which present significant new challenges. Position papers on new ideas and industry papers are also welcome. The conference is organized by KICS (The Korean Institute of Communications and Information Sciences) with the technical co-sponsorship of IEEE Communications Society and IEICE Communications Society. Accepted and presented papers will be published in the ICUFN 2025 Conference Proceedings, assigned an ISBN number, and included in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. Additionally, extended versions of selected papers will be considered for publication in SCI(E)-indexed international journal
