SEAMS-2025

20th International Conference on Software Engineering for Adaptive and Self-Managing Systems

https://conf.researchr.org/home/seams-2025

****************************************************************************************************

Call for Papers

We invite submissions of technical research papers describing original and unpublished results on software engineering for self-adaptive and self-managing systems, across the broad spectrum of topics of interest listed below. SEAMS 2025 will use two submission rounds for the Research Track, with deadlines in October 2024 and December 2024 – with the possibility of submitting a revised version from the first round to the second as detailed below. Accepted papers will be published in the IEEE and ACM digital libraries. In addition, authors of distinguished papers will be invited to submit revised and extended versions of their work to a dedicated Special Issue of ACM Transactions on Autonomous and Adaptive Systems (TAAS).

Background

Today we are building an exciting future in which autonomous vehicles navigate complex environments, smart cities employ advanced technologies to solve public problems and achieve a higher quality of life, and service robots support social care workers or perform tasks that are too dangerous for humans. These software-intensive systems must continuously preserve and optimize their operation despite uncertain changes in their operating environment, resource variability, evolving user needs, attacks and faults. This requires the systems to adapt and manage themselves autonomously, although, in certain situations, human intervention may be beneficial to improve these systems’ operation. Adaptation also pervades less traditional application domains, such as engineering AI-based systems, human-centered design and development decisions, and the design of human-machine interactions.

SEAMS is a CORE-A ranked conference that applies software engineering methods, techniques, processes, and tools to support the construction of self-adaptive and autonomous systems that provide self-* properties like self-configuration, self-healing, self-optimization, and self-protection. SEAMS aims to bring together researchers and practitioners from academia, industry, and government to investigate, discuss, examine, and advance the fundamental principles, the state-of-the-art, and the solutions addressing critical challenges of engineering self-adaptive and self-managing systems.

Topics of Interest

We welcome research contributions to all topics related to engineering self-adaptive and self-managing systems, including:

Foundational concepts
Self-* properties
Uncertainty
Runtime models and variability
Mixed-initiative and human-in-the-loop/human-on-the-loop
Ethical challenges
Adaptation vs evolution
Engineering strategies
AI and machine learning
Automatic synthesis techniques
Control theory
Search-based techniques
Model checking
Simulation and digital twins
Human-centered software development
Engineering activities
Domain/environment analysis
Requirements elicitation
Security and privacy
Architecture and design
Testing and assurances
Automated maintenance
Systematic reuse
Processes and methodologies
Self-adaptation for software engineering
Languages
Formal notations for self-* properties
Domain-specific languages
Programming language support

Application areas and domains include but are not limited to Internet of Things, cyber-physical systems, cloud/fog/edge/mobile computing, bioengineering, robotics, smart environments, smart user interfaces, web/service-based applications, and automotive.

Types of Papers

We solicit two types of papers:

Research papers 10 pages of content + 2 pages of references: papers offering novel and mature research contributions and experiences gained from applying or evaluating research results in practice.

Short papers 6 pages of content + 1 page of references: papers presenting ongoing research or new research ideas without a complete evaluation.

We plan to complement the SEAMS 2025 program of research and short paper presentations with a community debate. In contrast to past SEAMS editions, which called for positions on a given topic/statement, we now call for proposals for the debate.

Community debate proposals 1-page proposal, possibly with a supporting video: proposals suggesting a topic of the debate, and the chair(s) who will be in charge of organizing and moderating the debate at SEAMS 2025 if the proposal is accepted. The chairs of accepted proposals will also be responsible for inviting participants to their debate. Community debate proposals should be single-anonymous, justify the relevance of the topic and adequateness of the chairs, and suggest a tentative list of participants in the debate. Accepted proposals will not be included in the SEAMS 2025 proceedings.

For additional information on how to submit papers to SEAMS 2025, please see the Submission section. Besides research papers, the SEAMS organizers encourage the submission of artifacts. Artifacts can be associated with research papers, or they can be standalone contributions. For both options, artifacts should be submitted to the artifact track.

Review Criteria Each paper submitted to the Research Track will be reviewed by at least three PC members. The evaluation will be based on the following criteria:

Novelty and Originality
Relevance and Impact
Soundness and Verifiability
Presentation and Readability

Community debate proposals will be reviewed by the General Chair and Program Chairs of SEAMS 2025 with the support of the SEAMS Steering Committee. The evaluation will be based on the following criteria:

Novelty and Originality
Relevance and Impact
