Topics

The CASA 2025 workshop is interested in all the topics concerning the architectural aspects in Context-aware, Autonomous, and Smart (CASA) solutions.
Please find below several examples of possible topics:

• Software architectures: surveys, issues, challenges, comparisons, research, PoC;
• Design and architectural patterns;
• Architectural models and techniques;
• Current practices in developed projects;
• Architecture description languages;
• Standards for software architectures;
• Machine Learning based approaches;
• Model-driven engineering;
• Internet of Things and sensor networks;
• Local, edge, cloud computing;
• Network infrastructures, middleware;
• Documental databases, Big Data, massive data management;
• Autonomous and self-adaptive aspects;
• Self-aware, self-managed, self-configuration, self-organization, self-protection, self-improvement aspects;
• Coordination and cooperation in collaborative environments;
• Real-time/latency-awareness;
• Social and ethical issues;
• Privacy, safety, security, cyber-physical issues;
• Software quality management;
• Evolution and maintenance;
• Development tools, platforms, and environments;
• Sustainable, green, energy-efficient systems;
• Robotics;
• Autonomous and unmanned vehicles;
• Applying AI and LLMs in CASA solutions;
• Applications of CASA solutions to healthcare systems, public administration systems, Industry 4.0 systems and other areas of interest.

Submission Guidelines

The workshop invites two types of submissions:

• full research and experience papers, presenting novel contributions concerning the architectural aspects of context-aware, autonomous, and smart solutions; the length of full/experience workshop papers shall be maximum 16 pages (including figures, references, etc.);
• short and position papers, presenting promising preliminary results from work-in-progress or research challenges in software architectures for context-aware, autonomous, and smart solutions; the length of short/position workshop papers shall be maximum 8 pages plus 2 pages only for references;

All the papers must be written in English and should follow the Spriger LNCS style available at this web site.

Submitted papers will be reviewed by at least 3 members of Program/Organizing Committee (or their sub-reviewers) and selection of accepted papers will be based on relevance, quality and originality of the submitted papers. For each accepted paper, at least one of the (co)author(s) is expected to be present at the workshop and to present the paper.
