************************* ICESS-2025 Call for paper and workshops**********************
The 21st IEEE International Conference on Embedded Software and Systems (ICESS-2025)
https://hpcn.exeter.ac.uk/icess2025

Exeter, UK, 13-15 August 2025
INTRODUCTION
=============
With the rapid development of high-performance embedded chips, the computing power of edge devices has been greatly enhanced, enabling the devices to handle computation-intensive tasks in real time. More and more artificial intelligence (Al) applications are migrating to edge computing platforms for ensuring real-time response. The combination of edge computing and Al has given rise to edge intelligence, which is an emerging technology that integrates the core capabilities of network, computing, storage, and applications. Edge intelligence can provide users with high-quality intelligent services more efficiently by deploying intelligent algorithms on edge devices closer to users. Compared with Al models deployed on the cloud, edge intelligence has the advantages of lower power consumption, shorter latency, higher security, and closer to users. Therefore, edge intelligence has become a hot research topic in academia in recent years. In addition, Huawei, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Cisco, and other major global enterprises have also launched their layout on this aspect, in order to accelerate the development of precision agriculture, smart healthcare, smart city, industrial Internet of Things, and other fields and related industries.
ICESS-2025 is a global forum for researchers and developers from academia, industry, and government to present and discuss emerging ideas and trends in embedded software and systems. The conference has a broad scope covering the design, implementation, optimization, and validation of embedded software and systems in various domains. ICESS-2025 will be hosted in Exeter, the capital city of Devon and provides the county with a central base for education, medicine, religion, commerce and culture.
Prospective authors are invited to submit their papers to ICESS-2025. All accepted papers are expected to be included in IEEE Xplore and will be indexed by Engineering Index (EI). The authors of selected best papers will be invited post conference to extend their contributions for special issues of prestigious journals to be planned in conjunction with the conference.

SCOPE AND TOPICS
================
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Track 1: Edge Intelligence
Track 2: Systems, Models & Algorithms
Track 3: Design Methodology & Tools
Track 4: Emerging Embedded Applications & Interdisciplinary

PAPER SUBMISSION GUIDELINE
==========================
All papers need to be submitted electronically through the conference submission website (https://hpcn.exeter.ac.uk/icess/ ) with PDF format. The materials presented in the papers should not be published or under submission elsewhere. Each paper is limited to 8 pages (or 12 pages with over length charge) including figures and references using IEEE Computer Society Proceedings Manuscripts style (two columns, single-spaced, 10 fonts).
Once accepted, the paper will be included into the IEEE conference proceedings published by IEEE Computer Society Press (indexed by EI). At least one of the authors of any accepted paper is requested to register the paper at the conference.

CALL FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS
==============================
ICESS-2025 is inviting proposals for high-quality workshops to complement its scientific program. Workshop topics should fall within the broad area of Embedded Software and Systems. The workshop organizers are highly encouraged to include interactive and hands-on working sessions.
The organizers of approved workshops are responsible for advertising their workshops, collecting papers, managing the review process, making accepted papers available to workshop participants (e.g., workshop website). Conference facilities such as meeting rooms, wireless Internet and meals will be provided by the main conference local organizers.

WORKSHOP PROPOSAL SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS
============================================
Workshop proposals should be formatted as a single PDF document of 1-2 pages, describing the following:
• The full name and acronym of the workshop
• A description of the theme of the workshop and its key topics
• A tentative list of workshop chairs
• A tentative CFP

To Submit: Please email your proposal to icess2025@googlegroups.com with the title “ICESS Workshop Proposal”.
