Call For Papers

The 22nd ACM International Conference on Computing Frontiers (CF'25) will take place May 28th-30th, 2025, Cagliari, Sardinia, Italy. Participation is in-person only.

Computing Frontiers (CF) is an eclectic, interdisciplinary, collaborative community of researchers investigating emerging technologies in the broad field of computing: our common goal is to drive the scientific breakthroughs that support society.

CF's broad scope is driven by recent technological advances in wide-ranging fields impacting computing, such as novel computing models and paradigms, advancements in hardware, network and systems architecture, cloud computing, novel device physics and materials, new application domains of artificial intelligence, big data analytics, wearables, and IoT. The boundaries between the state-of-the-art and revolutionary innovation constitute the advancing frontiers of science, engineering, and information technology — and are the CF community's focus. CF provides a venue to share, discuss, and advance broad, forward-thinking, early research on the future of computing and welcomes work on a wide spectrum of computer systems, from embedded and hand-held/wearable devices to supercomputers and data centers.

Topics of Interest

We seek original research contributions at the frontiers of a wide range of topics, including novel computational models and algorithms, new application paradigms, computer architecture (from embedded to HPC systems), computing hardware, memory technologies, networks, storage solutions, compilers, and environments.

• Hardware Frontiers
  • Emerging processor architectures, accelerators and memory systems
  • Post-exascale high-performance computing
  • Quantum computing systems, runtimes, algorithms and applications
  • Post-Moore's Law Systems: Neuromorphic, biologically-inspired and hyperdimensional computing
• Distributed Systems and Networking Frontiers
  • Multi and Hybrid Cloud computing, and challenges
  • IoT, CPS, edge and embedded computing systems
  • Breakthroughs in edge-cloud continuum, satellite computing
  • Sensor networks and wearable computing
• System Software and Runtime Frontiers
  • Virtualization and containerization
  • Platforms for workflows and distributed progamming
  • Compilers and optmizations for heterogeneous systems
  • Big data platforms and analytics
• AI for System and Systems for AI
  • Distributed AI and Federated learning
  • System design for efficient AI
  • AI for system optimizations
  • Agentic AI and AIOps
• Cutting-edge Developments in Computing for Society and Emerging Applications
  • AI ethics: Privacy, sustainability, biases
  • Emerging applications in education, health, smart cities and emerging markets
• Pushing the Boundaries of Cross-cutting Computing Challenges
  • Designing for scale and performance
  • Energy efficiency and sustainability
  • Security and privacy, impact of quantum and AI
  • Reliability, resiliency and dependability
  • Algorithmic innovations
  • Benchmarking, performance analysis and modeling

We strongly encourage submissions in other emerging fields of computing, and welcome submissions that propose new directions of research and out-of-the-box solutions for grand computing challenges. If in doubt whether your work fits in Computing Frontiers please contact the program co-chairs.

Submission

We encourage the submission of both full papers and short papers containing high-quality research describing original, unpublished work. Full papers are expected to provide well-rounded contributions, where novelty, originality, and sufficient preliminary evaluation are included. Short papers may be position papers or may describe preliminary or highly speculative work.

Papers must be submitted through: https://cf25.hotcrp.com/

Full papers are a maximum of eight (8) pages (excluding references) and short papers are a maximum of four (4) (including references) pages. All papers should use the double-column ACM conference format. Page limits include figures, tables and appendices. Authors may buy up to two (2) extra pages for accepted full papers.

As the review process is double-blind, the removal of all identifying information from paper submissions is required (e.g., cite own (previous) work in the third person, avoid references to machines and/or systems that can identify the paper authors, etc.). Papers not conforming to the above submission policies on formatting, page limits, and the removal of identifying information, are likely to be automatically rejected. Authors are strongly advised to submit their papers with the final list of authors in the submission system, as changes may not be feasible at later stages (due to restrictions at the publisher).

By submitting your article to an ACM Publication, you are hereby acknowledging that you and your co-authors are subject to all ACM Publications Policies, including ACM's new Publications Policy on Research Involving Human Participants and Subjects. Alleged violations of this policy or any ACM Publications Policy will be investigated by ACM and may result in a full retraction of your paper, in addition to other potential penalties, as per ACM Publications Policy.

Registration and No-show policy: At least one full registration is required from a submission author for each accepted paper and all accepted papers are expected to be presented in person at the conference. If circumstances arise such that authors are unable to present their papers at the conference, they must contact the PC co-chairs with a proposal for a replacement presenter. A no-show will result in exclusion from the ACM digital library proceedings.

Important Dates

All deadlines are AoE.

Abstract submission: 13 January 2025
Paper submission: 20 January 2025
Author Notification: 3 March 2025
Artifact Submission: 17 March 2025 (only for accepted papers)
Artifact Notification: 31 March 2025
Camera Ready: 7 April 2025

Call for Artifact Evaluation and disclaimer

The CF25 Organizing Committee strongly encourages authors on a voluntary basis to present the Artifact Evaluation (AE) documentation to support their scientific results. The Artifact Evaluation is run by a different committee after the acceptance of the paper and does not affect the paper evaluation itself.

Authors may submit the artifact during the submission period or after the notification. To arrange the necessary computing resources, authors are invited to flag the option during the paper registration if they are willing to participate in the evaluation. Authors are encouraged, but not required, to include the AE appendix in the paper at the time of submission. Note that the AE appendix does not count toward the page limit.

Artifact Preparation

CF25 adopts the ACM Artifact Review and Badging (Version 1.1 - August 24, 2020). By "artifact", we mean a digital object that was either created by the authors to be used as part of the study or generated by the experiment itself. Typical artifacts may include system descriptions or scripts to install the environment or reproduce specific experiments. Authors are invited to include a one-page appendix to the main paper (after the references). The appendix does not count toward the page limit.

To prepare the Appendix and avoid common mistakes, authors may refer to the following guide: https://ctuning.org/ae/checklist.html

A Latex template can be found at the following link: https://github.com/ctuning/ck-artifact-evaluation/blob/master/wfe/artifact-evaluation/templates/ae.tex.

Artifact Review Process

The Artifact Evaluation Committee will reproduce the paper by following the instructions included in the appendix and verify ACM roles for assigned badges. For example, in order to have a paper with an Artifact Available badge, the code and data should be stored in a permanent archive with a DOI or another unique identifier.

Authors may be invited by the AE Committee to revise their instructions according to their feedback. At the end of the process, AE Committee will recommend one or more badges to assign to the paper among those supported by the ACM reproducibility policy.
