Submission details

Submission Guidelines

All contributions will be reviewed by the Program Committee. Accepted contributions will appear in the final program either as a short talk or a full presentation, depending on the reviews. All presentations will be made available in digital format, unless otherwise instructed by the authors. For submission, the PDF format is mandatory.

To foster the broadest possible engagement and exchanging of ideas, CompSys 2025 does not claim copyright, making it possible for authors of accepted contributions to present work that has already been published or is in the process of being published elsewhere.

Important dates

Submission types

CompSys 2025 welcomes three types of contributions: research papers, work-in-progress papers/early ideas, and negative/failed research results.

Long papers

Research papers on your best results from the past year(s). This includes papers already submitted to and/or accepted at (inter)national conferences or workshops (please indicate the original venue in the submission form). Long papers must not exceed 12 pages in double-column format or 15 pages in LNCS format and can be submitted using any of the commonly used templates (e.g., ACM, IEEE, LNCS).

Short papers: Work-in-progress and early ideas

Since CompSys is a forum that encourages discussions about early and exciting ideas, we specifically welcome extended abstracts highlighting early ideas and work-in-progress papers. These submissions are particularly suitable for graduate and undergraduate students working on their theses or PhD students who have recently started and want to share preliminary results with the community. In particular, we encourage contributions in the form of short talks to share early, unexplored ideas with the community, stimulate discussions, and gather feedback. These talks may be especially interesting for early-stage researchers. Submissions require a short paper of at most 2 pages (not including references) in IEEE double-column format or 4 pages (not including references) in LNCS single-column format. The paper should mention the research question being addressed, outline the novelty and/or originality of the idea or approach, and contain a summary of preliminary results.

Negative research results

As in previous years, we also solicit contributions sharing negative results, incorrect methodologies, or invalidated hypotheses to share lessons learned and remind ourselves that trying ideas that do not lead to expected outcomes is a normal part of research. Submissions of negative research results papers require a short paper of at most 2 pages (not including references) in IEEE double-column format or 4 pages (not including references) in LNCS single-column format.

The submission portal will be announced soon.
