*** Last Call for Papers ***
20th International Conference on Persuasive Technology (PERSUASIVE 2025)
May 5-7, 2025, 5* St. Raphael Resort and Marina, Limassol, Cyprus
https://2025.persuasivetech.org
(*** Proceedings to be published by Springer in LNCS ***)
In a world in which technology is increasingly present in people’s lives, and changing human
behavior and attitudes is often the key to solving many societal and personal problems,
studying how technology might be used to influence humans (in their behavior, attitudes and
information processing), is paramount.
Persuasive Technology is a vibrant interdisciplinary research field, focusing on the design,
development and evaluation of interactive technologies aimed at influencing people’s attitudes
and/or behaviors through persuasion, but not through coercion or deception. The research
community aims at enriching people’s lives in various domains such as health and sustainability
by supporting people in setting and achieving their own goals, thus helping them change their
behavior.
The 2025 conference will be hosted in Limassol, Cyprus at the 5* St. Raphael Resort and Marina.
The previous successful conferences have been organized in Wollongong, Limassol, Eindhoven,
Stanford, Oulu, Claremont, Copenhagen, Columbus, Linköping, Sydney, Padua, Chicago,
Salzburg, Amsterdam, and Waterloo. The conference series seeks to bring together researchers
and practitioners from industry and academia working with various topics of persuasive
technology.
We welcome the following categories of papers and extended abstracts:
• Technical papers that introduce novel persuasive technology approaches and solutions
alongside evidence of their potential.
• Empirical studies which seek to provide evidence and explanation of methods, principles and
theories in persuasive systems.
• Conceptual-theoretical papers which primarily seek to contribute to the general
understanding of the field’s core themes and specificities.
• Other papers, e.g. literature reviews or experience reports.
SCOPE
The scope of the conference includes (but is not limited to) the following topics:
• Persuasive systems’ design
• Behavior change support systems
• Interaction with persuasive systems, interfaces, visualization

September 15-19, 2025, 5* St. Raphael Resort and Marina, Limassol, Cyprus
https://conf.researchr.org/home/ecsa-2025
(*** Proceedings to be published by Springer in LNCS ***)
The European Conference on Software Architecture (ECSA) is the premier European software
architecture conference, providing researchers, practitioners, and educators with a platform to
present and discuss the most recent, innovative, and significant findings and experiences in the
field of software architecture research and practice. The 19th European Conference on Software
Architecture (ECSA 2025) will be held from September 15 to 19, 2025. ECSA 2025 is planned as
an in-person conference taking place in the beautiful city of Limassol (Cyprus).
SCOPE
The theme for ECSA 2025 is “impactful software architecture”. The software architecture
discipline has had a critical role in shaping robust, scalable, and maintainable systems. We are
interested in learning about software architecture principles and practices, emergence trends
and case studies highlighting strategic architectural choices that can lead to enhanced
performance, improved collaboration, and long-term sustainability. The overarching question is
how these architectural principles and practices, both well-established and emerging, are
making an impact in real-world systems, and how that impact is being felt across various
domains, from enterprise systems to more novel areas like, e.g., AI-driven or autonomous
applications?
The Program Committee of the 19th European Conference on Software Architecture seeks
submissions of original and unpublished high-quality papers describing fundamental and
applied research; new methods, approaches, and processes; novel applications; education and
training in software architecture; and experience reports on all topics related to software
architecture.
We particularly encourage papers that demonstrate that diversity in gender, culture, religion,
country, etc. are key factors for success and innovation in software architecture.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
• Foundational principles of software architecture
• Relationship of requirements engineering and software architecture
• Quality attributes and software architectures
• Architecture practices for secure, explainable, and trustworthy software
• Architecture design and analysis
• Architecture description languages and meta-models
• Architecture verification and validation
• Management of architectural knowledge, decisions, and rationale
• Architecture patterns, styles, and tactics; reference architectures
• Architecture viewpoints and views
• Architecture conformance
• Software architecture virtualization and visualization
• Architecture-centric process models and frameworks
• Software architecture and agile, incremental, iterative, and continuous development
• Component-based models and deployment; middleware
• Software architecture and system architecture
• Software tools and environments for architecture-centric software engineering
• Ethics, cultural, economic, business, social, human, and managerial aspects of software
architecture
• Architecture and technical debt
• Architecting for sustainable and environment friendly systems
• Applying AI and LLMs in software architecture and architecting for AI and LLM intensive
systems
• Software architecture education
• Cross-disciplinary approaches to software architecture
• Architectures for reconfigurable and self-adaptive systems
• Architectural concerns of autonomic systems
• Software architecture applied to new and emerging areas, such as the cloud/edge, big data,
blockchain, cyber-physical systems, IoT, autonomous systems, systems-of-systems, energy-
aware software, quantum computing, AI-enabled systems
• Empirical studies, systematic literature reviews, and mapping studies in software architecture
• Diversity, equity, and inclusion in activities related to software architecture
PAPER SUBMISSIONS
ECSA 2025 seeks four types of papers for the research track:
• Research papers (max. 16 pages in LNCS style) which describe novel contributions to software
architecture research (submissions should cover work that has a sound scientific/technological
basis and has been validated)
• Education and training papers (max. 16 pages in LNCS style) that address methodologies,
experiences and best practices for teaching and training software architecture
• Experience reports (max. 16 pages in LNCS style) that cover innovative implementations,
novel applications, insightful performance results and experience in applying software
architecture research advances to practical situations and systems
• Short papers (max. 8 pages in LNCS style) that present novel and preliminary work-in-
progress or challenges in a topic of software architecture research, education, and training.
Submissions must have a sound basis, but not necessarily be validated in full.
All submitted papers will undergo a rigorous double-blind peer review process. Papers will be
selected based on originality, quality, soundness, and relevance. All contributions must be
original, not published, accepted, or submitted for publication elsewhere. Contravention of this
concurrent submission policy will be deemed a serious breach of ethics, and appropriate action
will be taken in all such cases. Plagiarism checking will be conducted and any paper reporting
more than a 20% match with published work will be desk-rejected.
To note is that research papers, education and training papers, and experience reports that are
rejected in their categories may be re-evaluated as short papers only if the committee decides
on rejection of the full paper on the basis that it presents preliminary work.
The research track of ECSA 2025 supports an Open Science policy. We encourage all
contributing authors to disclose (anonymized and curated) data/artifacts to increase
reproducibility. Note that sharing research artifacts is not mandatory for submission or
acceptance. Upon submission to the research track, authors are required:
• To make their artifacts available to the program committee (via a link to an anonymous
repository) and provide instructions on how to access this data in the paper; or
• To include in the paper an explanation as to why this is not possible or desirable; and
• To indicate why they do not intend to make their data or study materials publicly available
upon acceptance, if that is the case
While sharing research artifacts is not mandatory for submission or acceptance, authors are
required to include a Data Availability statement after the Conclusions section in a section
named "Data Availability". This statement should explain whether or not data and/or artifacts
are available or how they could be accessed (or not). Upon acceptance, papers with Open
Science artifacts (e.g., data, tools, etc.) will be invited to upload their artifacts into the ECSA
Zenodo community (https://zenodo.org/communities/ecsa/) to make them accessible and
visible to the ECSA community. Sharing artifacts via the ECSA Zenodo community is required for
authors to be eligible for the best Open Artifact award.
All contributions must be formatted according to the Springer LNCS style
(https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-gu…).
Page limits include figures and references.
Contributions need to be submitted in PDF format via EasyChair to the ECSA 2025 Research
Track: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ecsa2025. Please select the “Research Track”
in EasyChair for your submission and click "Continue".
The proceedings will be published by Springer as part of the LNCS series. We also plan to
organize a Journal Special Issue on the theme of ECSA 2025 and to invite authors of selected
papers to submit an extended version of their research.
TOOLS AND DEMOS
The Tools and Demonstrations (Tools & Demos) Track provides an opportunity for both
researchers and practitioners to present and discuss the most recent advances, ideas,
experiences, and challenges in the field of Software Architecture by means of Tools & Demos
presentations.
Tools & Demos papers are intended to address any aspect of: (i) tool support for software
architectures, or (ii) demonstrate results about the application of architectural approaches.
Papers submitted to this track can belong to two distinct categories:
• Tool papers: These papers deal with the development and evaluation of tools to support
software architecture. They may present new tools, extensions to existing tools, or evaluations
of the effectiveness of tools. The aim is to provide a platform for the exchange of innovative
tools and techniques that help design, implement and analyze software architectures.
• Demo papers: These papers will demonstrate concepts, techniques or systems related to
software architectures. The focus is on presenting practical applications and implementations
of architectural approaches. Demo papers may include live demonstrations, prototypes or
simulations that emphasize the benefits and potential of specific architecture solutions.
Both Tool Papers and Demo Papers contribute to the advancement of the field by providing
insights, experiences and practical solutions related to software architectures. Tools and
Demos should not be used as a means for commercial advertisement.
We will strive to keep ECSA’s tradition to select the Best Tools & Demo Paper, awarded during
the conference. The selection of the best tool and demo paper will be made based on the votes
of the attendants of the conference.
Submissions of Tools & Demos papers should describe the work, how it relates to other
industrial or research efforts, including references, what the expected benefits are, a video of
the tool or demo (if one exists), and the web-page and/or open-source repository for the tool
(if one exists). All submissions must conform to the LNCS template and must not exceed 8
pages.
Tools & Demos submissions should provide a link to a video, with audio commentary, of a
maximum of ten minutes in length, with high resolution (e.g., details of the tool’s functionality
should be clearly visible). The video must be uploaded on a server (e.g., YouTube, Google
Drive, Dropbox), and the link must be included in the submission for its evaluation (as a
footnote on the first page of the submission or as links after the abstract of the submission).
In addition, it is possible to provide open material, e.g., source code and/or a running instance
of the tool. The links to the video and (if applicable) the additional material should be included
in the contribution after the abstract and before the introduction sections.
Paper submissions must be made electronically via the online EasyChair submission site for the
ECSA 2024 conference, selecting the “Tools & Demos Track”:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ecsa2025 .
The selection criteria of Tools & Demos papers will consider their originality, relevance for the
ECSA audience, technical soundness, and presentation quality. Each submission will be
evaluated by at least two PC members, in a single-step review process.
The accepted papers will be included in the ECSA 2025 companion volume to be published in Springer LNCS series.

Journal-First. The aim of the Journal-First (JF) submission category is to further enrich the
program of ICTSS, as well as to provide an overall more flexible path to publication and
dissemination of original research that is within the scope of ICTSS. A submission in this
category must adhere to the following criteria:
■ It should be clearly within the scope of the conference.
■ It should be recent: it should have been accepted and made publicly available in a journal
(online or in print) by January 1, 2023 or more recently.
■ It has not been presented at, and is not under consideration for, Journal- First tracks of other
conferences or workshops.
■ The submission has to be in the form of a 4-page extended abstract and has to provide a
concise summary of the published journal paper.
■ It must be marked as such in the submission’s, and must explicitly include full bibliographic
details (including a DOI) of the journal publication they are based on. Since the referenced
journal papers have already been reviewed and accepted by the corresponding journals,
submissions in the JF category will not be reviewed again for technical content. Submissions will
be judged on the basis of the above criteria, but also considering how well they would
complement the conference’s technical program. Accepted submissions in this category will be
part of the proceedings of ICTSS 2025, with the title equal to the original title of the article with
the prefix.
The submission link is: https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=ictss2025
The papers will be published by Springer in the LNCS volume.

2-5 July 2025, Bologna, Italy
Accepted papers will be published by IEEE and will be available via the
IEEE Xplore.
Motivation and Rationale
Web3 and Decentralized Finance (DeFi) are two key factors of the new
Internet era. They are redefining the landscape of digital
communications and distributed systems, offering new opportunities for
secure, resilient, and scalable applications. The worldwide adoption of
Web3 is reshaping how users experience Internet services by including
concepts such as decentralization, democratization and rewarding in
existing services. The main engine of Web3 is blockchain technology.
However, there are numerous areas where there is room for improvement.
To begin with, most Web3 applications revolve around DeFi, however, the
decentralisation offered by blockchain technology could help plenty of
scenarios. Promising scenarios are supply chains, health, decentralized
storage, data sharing, power grids, virtual worlds (like the Metaverse)
and many more. Additionally, there are other scenarios where Web3 could
have a meaningful impact, including IoT, vehicular networks, cloud and
edge computing, digital identities, intellectual property management,
digital twins, and integration with the physical world. DeFi is still
quite far from perfect. Indeed, fungible and non-fungible assets are
constantly evolving to include more advanced functionalities as so to
increase their adoption. Moreover, DeFi was shown to be susceptible to
malicious activity, including fake NFTs, sleepminting, washtrading, rug
pull, pump and dump, Maximal Extractable Value and other scams. Finding
solutions to foresee and prevent such malevolent practices becomes
crucial for the true adoption of this technology. Lastly, blockchain
technology has some inherent limitations that are still to be addressed,
including creating efficient consensus protocols for public blockchains,
and secure channels for transaction confirmation among others.
The Web3 Applications and the eVolution of dEcentralized finance (WAVE)
workshop analyses the technological challenges and the potential of Web3
and DeFi applications. By bringing together researchers and
practitioners, the workshop aims to attract contributions that can
discuss how these emerging technologies can shape the future of
blockchain, and address the challenges of their adoption. Papers on both
theoretical and design aspects are welcomed, which describe and evaluate
novel design methods and system prototypes. The workshop also welcomes
work-in-progress and position papers.
