Submissions based on empirical studies conducted under industry-academia collaboration are especially encouraged, sharing data/artifacts (anonymized and curated) to increase reproducibility, but not mandatory for submission or acceptance.
Submissions
We invite submissions of unpublished high-quality research papers, both full papers (max. 15 pages) and short papers (max. 8 pages), related to Agile software development.
- Full papers should present completed research that addresses a research problem and document the details and results of a study.
- Short papers are expected to communicate emerging research results and/or trends that have the potential to be further developed.
Papers may also present a vision on a given topic that addresses long-term challenges and opportunities that are thoroughly justified or related to prior literature.
We welcome submissions addressing topics across the full spectrum of Agile software development, broadly on Agile, and on issues of concern to researchers or practitioners (or both).
Submit here: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=xp2025
Formatting
All submissions must be formatted according to the Springer LNCS/LNBIP conference proceedings template (for LaTeX and Word), available here.
Review Criteria
The XP 2025 main conference proceedings will be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing (LNBIP) as Open Access.
Submissions will be screened on rigor and relevance and then evaluated by at least three program committee members based on soundness, significance, novelty, verifiability, and presentation quality.
XP 2025 adopts a Single-Blind Review process: authors are unaware of the reviewers’ identities, while reviewers know the authors. This means that you don’t need to anonymize the authors and affiliations in the paper.
