[Hcitaly] 19th European Conference on Software Architecture (ECSA 2025): First Call for Journal First Papers

*** First Call for Journal First 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 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 A journal-first paper submitted to ECSA 2025 must adhere to the following criteria: • The paper must have been accepted after peer review by one between JSS, IEEE Software, IST or TSE. • The paper is in the scope of the conference. • The paper has not been presented at and is not under consideration for journal-first programs of other conferences. PAPER SUBMISSION We invite authors of papers that meet the above criteria to submit a proposal that includes a summary of the original paper that highlights the contributions, motivates the relevance for the ECSA, and briefly discusses how the work has developed after the original publication - if it is the case. Please include the DOI of the original journal paper. ECSA offers an opportunity to disseminate your work to a broader community audience. The submission must be 3-4 pages long and conform to the Springer LNCS style (https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-gu…). Accepted submissions will be invited to present at the conference. The track chairs will write a summary of the accepted submissions that will be included in the conference proceedings. Proposals must be submitted via the online EasyChair submission site for the ECSA 2025 conference, selecting the "Journal First" Track: https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=ecsa2025 . EVALUATION Authors will be invited to present their paper at ECSA 2025 if it meets the above criteria. Please note that we plan to include as many journal-first papers as possible in the ECSA main program. However, if we receive an exceptionally high number of submissions, we may have to prioritize presentation proposals according to their fit to the conference theme and sessions structure. As the papers have already been reviewed and accepted by a journal, we will not review the submission for technical content; instead, we will focus on the track’s criteria. PRESENTATION ECSA 2025 is planned to be an in-person/physical conference. The journal-first paper presentations are part of the ECSA conference’s main program. As a journal-first presenter, you will benefit from the conference presentation in many ways, such as, outreach to a broader audience and interactions and discussions with peers. At least one author of each submission accepted for the journal-first program must register and attend the conference to present the paper. IMPORTANT DATES • Paper submission: May 23, 2025 • Acceptance notification: June 20, 2025 All dates are 23:59h AoE (anywhere on Earth).
