The 12-volume set CCIS 2564-2575, together with the 28-volume set LNCS/LNAI/LNBI 15842-15869, constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 21st International Conference on Intelligent Computing, ICIC 2025, held in Ningbo, China, during July 26-29, 2025. The 523 papers presented in these proceedings books were carefully reviewed and selected from 4032 submissions. This year, the conference concentrated mainly on the theories and methodologies as well as the emerging applications of intelligent computing. Its aim was to unify the picture of contemporary intelligent computing techniques as an integral concept that highlights the trends in advanced computational intelligence and bridges theoretical research with applications. Therefore, the theme for this conference was "Advanced Intelligent Computing Technology and Applications".

Drug discovery and development involve complex processes, highly integrated interdisciplinary research, and collaborations between academic groups and the private sector. It is a long and resource-intensive endeavor characterized by a high attrition rate. Yet new strategies are being explored, aiming at accelerating the development of novel treatments, from the combination of artificial intelligence with cutting-edge experimental approaches, and the development of novel types of therapeutic agents to personalized medicine. Because drug discovery and development is a vast field with many stakeholders and potential conflicts of interest, it is important that the general public gains basic knowledge about the main concepts to be able to make informed healthcare decisions for themselves and family members, understand discussions in the news and social networks or proposals from policymakers and politicians. Furthermore, people are directly affected by the field, as patients seeking novel and better treatments, as volunteers in clinical trials, or as members of patient organizations. Building public knowledge and understanding about the field of drug discovery and development will also help to address growing public concerns about how health data should be collected and used.

When it was first published in 1994, King of Ragtime: Scott Joplin and his Era was widely heralded not only as the most thorough investigation of Scott Joplin's life and music, but also as a gripping read, almost a detective story. This new and expanded edition-more than a third larger than the first-goes far beyond the original publication in uncovering new details of the composer's life and insights into his music. It explores Joplin's early, pre-ragtime career as a quartet singer, a period of his life that was previously unknown. The book also surveys the nature of ragtime before Joplin entered the ragtime scene and how he changed the style. Author Edward A. Berlin offers insightful commentary on each of all of Joplin's works, showing his influence on other ragtime and non-ragtime composers. He traces too Joplin's continued music studies late in life, and how these reflect his dedication to education and probably account for the radical changes that occur in his last few rags. And he puts new emphasis on Joplin's efforts in musical theater, bringing in early versions of his Ragtime Dance and its precedents. Joplin's wife Freddie is shown to be a major inspiration to his opera Treemonisha, with her family background and values being reflected in that work. Joplin's reputation faded in the 1920s-30s, but interest in his music slowly re-emerged in the 1940s and gradually built toward a spectacular revival in the 1970s, when major battles ensued for possession of rights.
