19th European Conference on Software Architecture (ECSA 2025): Call for Workshop Papers

by Announce

*** Call for Workshop Papers *** 19th European Conference on Software Architecture (ECSA 2025) 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 forum for presenting and discussing software architecture research and practice. ECSA edition 2025 hosts workshops on topics related to software architecture. The following workshops will be held between September 15-16, 2025: 8th International Workshop on Context-Aware, Autonomous and Smart Architectures (CASA) https://casaecsa.github.io/casa2025/ Software is becoming increasingly aware of its current execution context. Decisions that were traditionally made at design time are being postponed until runtime to improve the services that software provides to its users. In addition, software reasons about the execution environments and its internal state to improve the functionality provided to its users. Some of the keywords that characterize software today are: context-aware, dynamic, autonomous, smart, adaptive, self-managed. In this context, the Context-aware, Autonomous, and Smart Architectures (CASA) workshop aims to address the issues and challenges raised by the design, implementation, and evaluation of software systems characterized by the above keywords. Novel design and development approaches are needed to address the new issues raised by such systems. New solutions are expected to properly address the trade-offs between the various quality attributes that characterize these systems. Or, existing architectural solutions should be adapted and improved to meet the evolving and dynamic requirements of context-aware, autonomous, and intelligent systems. The workshop aims to bring together software engineers, computer scientists, researchers, practitioners, and educators to discuss and exchange results, case studies, experiences, novel approaches, and visionary ideas on software architectures for context-aware, autonomous, and smart solutions. 1st International Workshop on Architecting Digital Twin of an Organization (ArchDTO) https://archdto.github.io/archdto2025/ The Digital Twin of an Organization (DTO) extends the concept of Digital Twins to create virtual replicas of business models, processes, resources, and interactions. DTOs enable optimization of decision-making, increased efficiency, and adaptability to rapid changes by leveraging real- time data, simulations, AI, and predictive analytics. Despite their transformative potential, DTOs are still in early development, facing significant software architecture challenges such as scalability, interoperability, model robustness, and real-time data integration. This workshop explores the architectural frameworks, design patterns, and software engineering principles needed to build robust DTOs. Topics include frameworks for DTO creation, enterprise modeling methodologies, technological enablers like AI and the Internet of Things, and real-world use cases from academia and industry. Given the novelty of the topic, the workshop consists of two main sessions: (1) presentations of academic and industry papers on DTO architectures, frameworks, and technologies, and (2) an interactive workshop session, where participants will engage in problem-solving, explore case studies, and collaboratively define challenges, solutions, and best practices for architecting DTOs. 1st International Workshop on AI-Assisted Software Architecting (AISA) https://sites.google.com/view/aisasa/home?pli=1 AI-assisted software architecting is transforming how architectural decisions are made, implemented, and maintained. Leveraging artificial intelligence, this paradigm enhances architectural decision making, automates repetitive architecting tasks, and optimizes system designs. The AISA workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners to explore AI’s role in various software architecting activities, including architecture analysis, design, decision-making, evolution, and documentation. We will also discuss AI-driven architectural pattern recommendations, best practices, and the application of AI in continuous architecting and self-adaptive architectures. Topics include AI-assisted architecture synthesis, automated architecture pattern selection, refactoring, security enforcement, and integrating AI into DevOps and MLOps pipelines. The workshop will foster discussions and collaborations between academia and industry to identify open challenges, research directions, and practical applications 5th International Workshop on Agility with Microservices Programming (AMP) https://amp-workshops.github.io The AMP workshop aims to collect experiences on microservice adoption and reporting best practices, as well as failure cases, to build community knowledge based on past mistakes and successes. We also emphasize the current trend towards AI-driven software engineering practices and the development of data- intensive applications. The workshop seeks for solutions and experiences both on both AI-assisted tooling, and building data-intensive applications and LLMs using microservices. The workshop is open to experience reports from practitioners and academics. We seek to collect original work on the science and engineering of programming microservices. 1st International Workshop on Software Architecture for Data-Intensive Systems (SADIS) https://sadis2025.smartarch.cz Modern software systems increasingly rely on data-centric processes to fuel intelligent features, scalable services, and real-time insights. As these systems evolve, designing effective software architectures for data-intensive environments becomes critical yet challenging. These architectures must address complex concerns such as handling high-velocity data streams, ensuring security and privacy, integrating heterogeneous data sources and heterogeneous computation fabrics (including GPUs/TPUs and edge devices), and adapting to changing workloads. The workshop aims to bring together academic researchers, industry practitioners, and thought leaders to explore cutting-edge approaches for building, deploying, and maintaining robust data-centric solutions. We invite discussions on a range of topics at the intersection of data-intensive systems and software architecture, including machine learning (ML) pipelines, ML Operations (MLOps) frameworks and patterns, domain-specific languages, reference architectures, and visualization techniques. Emphasis is placed on practical experiences, innovative tools and platforms, and theoretical advancements that tackle the ever-growing demands placed on data-intensive systems. By fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and knowledge exchange, the workshop seeks to shape the future of data-driven architecture design and empower professionals and researchers to address emerging challenges in this rapidly evolving domain. Workshop on Adaptive and Reconfigurable Systems and Architectures (AROSA) https://www.redcad.org/events/arosa2025/ The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners both from the Academia and from the Industry working in the areas of the adaptation and reconfiguration of distributed systems. Different investigation topics are involved, such as: CBSE, Web service, cloud applications, mobile applications, Functional and Non-Functional requirements (QoS, performance, resilience), monitoring, diagnosis, deci- sion and execution of adaptation and reconfiguration. Different research areas are covered: concepts, methods, techniques, and tools to design, develop, deploy and manage adaptive and reconfigurable software systems. The concept of adaptive and reconfigurable software systems has been introduced in order to describe architectures, which exhibit such properties. An adaptive and reconfigurable software system can repair itself if any execution problems occur, in order to successfully complete its own execution, while respecting functional requirements and quality attributes. In the design of an adaptive and reconfigurable software system, several aspects have to be considered. For instance, the system should be able to predict or to detect degradations and failures as soon as possible and to enact suitable recovery actions. SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS Please refer to the instructions at the workshops' web sites. IMPORTANT DATES • Abstract Submission: May 12, 2025 • Paper Submission: May 19, 2025 • Notification of Acceptance/Rejection: June 20, 2025 • Camera-Ready Submission: June 27, 2025 • Author Registration: June 27, 2025 • Workshop Days: September 15-16, 2025 All dates are 23:59h AoE (anywhere on Earth).

CFP: Workshop on Information Retrieval for Understudied Users - IR4U2@SIGIR 2025

by Noemi Mauro

**** PLEASE, EXCUSE MULTIPLE POSTINGS **** Call For Papers CFP for the 2nd Workshop on Information Retrieval for Understudied Users ( IR4U2) - Bridging User-centered AI with IR: Making Information Retrieval Accessible for All Please join us at IR4U2, co-located with the 48th International ACM SIGIR Conference on Research and Development in Information Retrieval, which will take place 13th-18th July 2025 in Padua, Italy Information Retrieval (IR) remains an active, fast-paced area of research. Nevertheless, most advancements in this domain have primarily favored what we might term 'conventional' users, such as adults from the global north. We envision IR4U2 as a forum to spotlight research and industry efforts that, while sparse, consider diverse, and often understudied, user groups. Among these groups, we find, for example, older adults, young children and adolescents, individuals afflicted by mental health disorders, users with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), individuals with intellectual disabilities, or those with specific learning needs. In this second iteration of IR4U2, we will focus more specifically on a **user-centred AI perspective**, which we believe is vital for informing the design, development, and assessment of IR systems that thoughtfully address the diverse needs of understudied populations, ensuring genuine accessibility and inclusivity. We aim to • Build, extend and maintain a community involving multi-disciplinary Ph.D. students, academics, and industry practitioners aiming to advance understanding of core (AI for) IR technology and its impact on a broad range of understudied users. • Take inventory of the different kinds of use cases, research work, ongoing efforts, and existing resources while reflecting on the progress made since the last IR4U2 iteration. • Define guidelines to promote user-centric design of IR systems. • Outline a general approach to facilitate research endeavors driven by and at the service of specific user groups IR4U2 will be a highly participatory, full-day, in-person workshop. This will involve informal interactions, facilitated group work, and brief presentations of accepted contributions. These contributions will help construct a snapshot of the current works in this area. Topics of interest include: - User-centered design of IR algorithms for understudied users - User-centric design of user interfaces for IR for understudied users - The use of AI for enhancing IR systems for understudied users - The positive and negative impact of AI on IR for understudied users - User modeling to enable IR and recommendation technologies tailored to understudied populations - Data collection and benchmark development of IR catering to understudied populations. - IR applications targeting understudied populations - IR techniques in the era of LLM and generative models with and for understudied populations This is not an exhaustive list, as we are also interested in contributions discussing challenges inherent to designing IR technology at the service of understudied user groups–from the need for multidisciplinary, multi-stakeholder collaborations to how to build datasets. Submissions: Peer reviewed contributions. These include research papers presenting empirical explorations, user studies, and/or new algorithms related to the open problems listed in topics of interest, as well as position/vision contributions discussing uses cases, challenges, and future research directions. These contributions should be submitted on EasyChair ( https://easychair.org/conferences?conf=ir4u20) at least 4 pages, but up to 12 (excluding references) formatted in CEURART’s single-column template ( https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/one-column-layout-template-for-sub…). Accepted contributions will be presented at the workshop and published in workshop proceedings. Editorially-reviewed contributions. To enable potential attendees to articulate their views on the topics of the workshop, share already-published works, bring awareness to ongoing European projects in this area, etc., we ask the submission of a short extended abstract. This type of informal submission (via this form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeoz0WWHx_0EXcPc9AZOTw6zx07gSolQ61… ) will be editorially reviewed by workshop organizers to gauge fit as well as themes of interest for group discussions. Accepted contributions will be presented at the workshop, but not published in the proceedings. Important dates All the deadlines are set at 11:59 PM AoE. - Submission: April 23, 2025 - Author notification: May 21, 2025 - Camera-ready: June 1, 2025 - Workshop day: July 17, 2025 At least one author of each accepted paper must register and attend the workshop.

by Announce

*** Fifth Call for Tools & Demos *** 19th European Conference on Software Architecture (ECSA 2025) 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? 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 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 .

Upcoming DFIR Stream 0xE Webinar — “Identifying Fraudulent CAPTCHA Solvers Using Network Propagation Analysis”

by Andrew Zayine

Dear All, We are excited to invite you to an upcoming DFIR Stream 0xE webinar: Title: “Identifying Fraudulent CAPTCHA Solvers Using Network Propagation Analysis” Presenters: -Martynas Buožis — Information Security Architect, Amadeus Data Processing GmbH -Umberto Fontana — PhD Candidate, Telecom SudParis & Amadeus IT Group Abstract: Malicious actors often use CAPTCHA Farms to bypass bot protection, enabling fraud such as inventory denial and SMS pumping. These farms cleverly mirror IP addresses and client fingerprints, making traditional detection methods ineffective. Meanwhile, their CAPTCHA-solving times are indistinguishable from legitimate users. In this talk, our speakers will present a novel technique for uncovering the use of CAPTCHA Farms by analyzing network propagation times. By comparing observed delays with the geographic distances implied by IP addresses, this approach aims to statistically identify suspicious patterns. - Date & Time: Tuesday, March 25, 2:00 – 3:00 pm (GMT+00:00) - Location: Online (Pre-registration required) - Event Registration Link: https://www.acfti.org/news-events/dfir-stream-0xe - Online Registration Ends: March 23 at 04:00 PM (GMT+00:00) Don’t miss this chance to learn about cutting-edge research on detecting fraudulent CAPTCHA solvers and to provide valuable feedback! ======Housekeeping Notes====== - Note that this event is online only. Hence, You must register to receive a link to connect. Due to limited availability, we kindly ask you to register as soon as possible to ensure your participation in the webinar of your choice. Finally, I would like to remind you that the call for speakers is currently open on the dedicated DFIR stream website, https://dfir.stream/call-for-guest-speakers #CyberSecurity #DFIR #CAPTCHA #OnlineFraud Best regards, Andrew Zayin Ph.D., CISSP, CISM, CRISC, CDPSE, PMP ACFTI Secretariat

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 RESEARCH PAPERS 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.

[Call for Abstracts] 2nd Workshop on Stimulating Cognitive Engagement in Hybrid Decision-Making: Friction, Reliance, and Biases (June 10 2025, Pisa, Italy - co-located with HHAI25)

by Chiara Natali

(Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this call) -------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR EXTENDED ABSTRACTS Second Workshop on Stimulating Cognitive Engagement in Hybrid Decision-Making: Friction, Reliance, and Biases Co-located with the 4th International Conference on Hybrid Human-Artificial Intelligence (HHAI25) June 10, 2025 | Pisa, Italy (in-person) https://sites.google.com/view/frictional-ai/home <https://sites.google.com/view/frictional-ai/home> -------------------------------------------------- **Workshop Overview** Building on the success of its first edition at HHAI 2024, the full-day workshop on "Stimulating Cognitive Engagement in Hybrid Decision-Making: Friction, Reliance, and Biases" advances the exploration of over-reliance and biases in Human-AI Interaction. Central to this discussion are approaches that intentionally introduce moments of cognitive effort and reflection into AI interactions to prevent passive or automatic reliance. While conventional AI design prioritises efficiency and seamlessness, this workshop invites participants to examine AI systems that strategically slow down decision-making when necessary to mitigate automation bias, cognitive offloading, and over-trust, ultimately fostering accuracy, responsibility, and human oversight. Such friction-in-design encompasses strategies that encourage users to reflect before acting, such as requiring justification before accepting AI recommendations, displaying confidence scores with uncertainty visualisations, or using explainability mechanisms that slow decision-making to reinforce human oversight. This workshop fosters interdisciplinary dialogue across AI research, cognitive science, HCI, and governance to ensure AI systems empower users rather than encourage unchecked reliance. The program will feature keynote presentations by leading experts in academia and industry, author presentations, and interactive discussions to advance the discourse on cognitively engaging and responsible AI design. Keynote speakers include: • Prof. Federico Cabitza (University of Milano-Bicocca, Italy) – Expert in AI-assisted decision-making and medical AI. • Bart Van Leeuwen (Fire Services Expert, Netherlands) – Expert in human factors and situational awareness in high-risk environments. **Topics of Interest** We welcome contributions from researchers, practitioners, and policymakers on topics including, but not limited to: • Design Principles for Cognitive Engagement • Measuring and mitigating automation bias, algorithmic aversion, and cognitive offloading • Ethical and Governance Perspectives on Friction-in-Design • Applications, Case Studies and Experimental Findings We encourage submissions from a variety of disciplines, including AI, HCI, cognitive science, law, philosophy, and beyond. **Submission Details** • Types of Submissions: Extended Abstracts (500-1,000 words) • Format: CEURART-WS style preferred • Submission Portal: https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/FrictionalAIWorkshop2025 <https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/FrictionalAIWorkshop2025> • Proceedings: All accepted papers will be published in the HHAI 2025 Workshop Proceedings on CEUR-WS.

"Ethical Innovation with/in Music Technology" - special issue of the IEEE Transactions on Technology and Society

by Luca Turchet

*** Apologies for cross-posting *** *Special Issue on "Ethical Innovation with/in Music Technology" IEEE Transactions on Technology and Society* *https://technologyandsociety.org/transactions/special-issues/ <https://technologyandsociety.org/transactions/special-issues/>* Recently, there has been increasing attention by the academic and industrial research community towards topics at the confluence of music technology and ethical and responsible innovation. Conceptual frameworks and technical methods proposed to address issues related to diversity, inclusivity, accessibility, environmental sustainability, surveillance, and fair remuneration for artists are impacting the discussions of both established communities (e.g., New Interfaces for Musical Expression or Music Information Retrieval), and emerging ones (e.g., Internet of Musical Things or Musical Metaverse). The rapid progress and widespread adoption of Artificial Intelligence, Extended Reality, and Internet of Things applied to music raise the urgent question on how to concretely embed ethics and responsible innovation practices in musical hardware and software development processes so that the services provided do not infringe on the ethical rights of stakeholders in the music ecosystem by performing ethical response-ability in the ethical pluralism of music practices. Such stakeholders involve a significant part of digital societies, including performers, composers, audiences, music teachers and students, sound engineers, as well as music labels and publishers. The intent of this special issue is to identify the main considerations around the ethical and responsible development of future music technologies. We target ethical innovation in music technology as well as with music technology. We aim at defining a promising road-map to account for these considerations while maintaining the objective of pushing the boundaries of musical hardware, software and socio-technical ecosystems, thus merging musical innovation with the understanding of its impact on society. We invite theoretical and methodologically rigorous original submissions that challenge, provoke, and expand these emerging frontiers. We welcome both conceptual and experimental studies, corroborated by quantitative and/or qualitative data. The studies can address a plethora of musical activities, including composition, performance, improvisation, teaching and learning, as well as broader ethical and responsible innovation issues in and beyond the music industry. Key topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Conceptualization of trustworthy musical ecosystems for digital societies - Trustworthy AI, Responsible AI and Explainable AI for musical applications - Ethics for the Musical Metaverse, Internet of Musical Things, Music Information Retrieval, and New Interfaces for Musical Expression - Environmental sustainability issues and solutions for the music industry - Dilemmas of creativity and autonomy in music technology - Inclusivity and accessibility in music technology - The plurality of ethics (cultural, legal, social and political) issues related to innovative music technologies - Trustworthy musical data ecosystem architectures, interfaces, methodologies, orchestration, patterns, solutions, and technology platforms - Impact of trustworthy musical ecosystems on digital societies at the local, national and global levels - Socio-economic fairness and ethical response-abilities in the music industry - The restoration of ancient instruments in a modern digital context and the preservation of related cultural histories - The benefits and risks of using an AI musical tutor: fast-tracking tools for learning an instrument and means of production - New responsible tools and techniques for teaching and learning music in higher education - Repositioning ourselves as researchers who perform ethical response-ability Important dates - Submissions open: 1 January 2025 - Submissions close: 1 September 2025 - Author latest notifications of acceptance: 1 February 2026 - Final receipt of final files: 1 March 2026 - Publication of special issue: 1 June 2026 Guest Editors - Prof. Luca Turchet, Department of Information Engineering and Computer Science, University of Trento, Italy - Prof. Nick Bryan-Kinns, Creative Computing Institute, University of the Arts London - Dr. Fabio Morreale, Sony AI, Barcelona, Spain - Prof. James Brusseau, Department of Philosophy, Pace University, New York City, USA - Prof. Pamela Burnard, Faculty of Education, University of Cambridge ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Luca Turchet*, Ph.D. Associate Professor Head of the *Creative, Intelligent & Multisensory Interactions Laboratory* <https://www.cimil.disi.unitn.it/> Chair of the *IEEE Emerging Technology Initiative on the Internet of Sounds* <https://www.comsoc.org/about/committees/emerging-technologies-initiatives/i…> Founder and President of the* Internet of Sounds Research Network <https://www.internetofsounds.net/>* Department of Information Engineering and Computer Science University of Trento Via Sommarive 9 - 38123 Trento - Italy E-mail: luca.turchet(a)unitn.it Tel: +39 0461 283792

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 RESEARCH PAPERS 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. INDUSTRY PAPERS The Industry Track at ECSA 2025 brings together practicing software architects and software architecture researchers from regional, European, and worldwide communities. We are seeking contributions from industry that share challenges, practical solutions, successful practices, failures, and lessons learned while analyzing, designing, implementing, evaluating, and evolving software architectures. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following themes: • Experience with architectures for emerging technologies, like LLM, and Agent-based system • Domain-specific challenges for software architects and architectures • Architecture specification and documentation • Architectural patterns, tactics, and tools • Practices and methods supporting architecture design, evaluation and evolution • Integration of architectural practices and methods with other software engineering approaches/practices/methods (e.g. Agile) • Social and organizational aspects, like human-machine, human-AI interactions, human-in-the-loop The ECSA 2025 Industry track aims to contribute to bridging the gap between academia and industrial practice by establishing an open communication and discussion environment. It will offer researchers and practitioners the opportunity to interact with fellow professionals and develop new ideas and skills for addressing industrial problems and collaborations. There are three ways to contribute: Full Papers (up to 16 pages in Springer LNCS style) describing best practices and experience from applying novel approaches to large-scale industrial projects in the context of software architecture. Submissions will be selected based on originality, quality, soundness, practical relevance, and potential for discussion. Short Papers and Presentations (6-10 pages in Springer LNCS style) outlining presentations on practices and experience related to software architecture from the industry. Submissions will be selected based on originality, practical relevance, and potential for discussion.
