Call for Papers

PROFES conferences encourage the exchange of ideas that help explore, understand, and model phenomena in software engineering from the point of view of process-product relationships. Traditionally, PROFES provides topics, which are up-to-date, important, and interesting to both practitioners and researchers. To ensure that PROFES will retain its high standards and that it will keep focusing on the most relevant research issues, we are looking for original research on current trends in software engineering aspects addressing products and services. Further, PROFES particularly encourages the submission of papers reporting on the application of respective methods or technologies in real settings, including both empirical studies and experience reports.

The topics of interest include, but are not restricted to, the following:

Process modeling, management, assessment and improvement
Value- and feedback-driven software development, agile and lean methods and processes
Processes for (digital) software product innovation
Software analytics and any empirical research with actionable insights on software products and processes
Predictive models for software engineering tasks
Infrastructure and processes for iterative or incremental software delivery
Continuous deployment and release planning
Product quality models for software, systems, and services
Project management techniques, global and/or distributed software development
Software Engineering processes for AI-enabled systems, including MLOps
AI and Data-Driven Techniques as tools for Software Process Improvement (AI4SE)
Methods for developing cloud-based systems and services, including monolithic to cloud-native migration
Software development for Cyber-Physical Systems
Processes and methods for COTS and open-source development
Service engineering processes and software business models

We invite submissions of full papers (max. 16 pages) related to all the topics of interest of the conference. Full papers that address collaborations between industry and academia, case studies as well as experience reports on any of the conference themes are particularly welcome. We also encourage the submission of secondary studies on topics of interest with the condition that the submissions should contain a synthesis of findings. All submitted papers will undergo a rigorous 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.

Important Dates

Submission: ~~June 13th~~ June 27th (Extended Deadline)
Notification: ~~July 29th~~ August 5th
Camera-ready: ~~August 19th~~ August 26th

Submission

Submitted papers must conform to the Springer LNCS author guidelines. All papers must be written in English and submitted in PDF format through EasyChair. The EasyChair submission web page for all contributions in PROFES 2025 is: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=profes2025. All submitted papers will undergo a rigorous single-anonymous peer review process involving at least three reviewers.

Conference Attendance Expectation

PROFES 2025 will be organized in presence. If a submission is accepted, at least one author must register to the conference and present the paper.
