The CPS Workshop 2025 is an initiative of the CPS Summer School 2025 community to offers participants a close contact with leading experts on the field, as well as the opportunity to present and discuss their ideas in a dynamic and friendly setting. We invite all registered participants to submit short papers describing their research on any of the topics of interest of the school. Since the goal is to achieve early feedback also work in progress, PhD plan and project outcomes are welcome.
Submission to the Workshop
The submissions (6 pages max.) should describe the problem being addressed, your motivation for addressing it, a plan of research and/or proposed solutions, the progress to date (specifying what remains to be done), and related work.
The accepted papers will be presented on Monday (September 22, 2025) in a dedicated school session. Participants will present their work with brief oral presentations and a poster to facilitate discussions with other students and experts.
Submission guidelines
Papers are limited to 6 pages (excluding references), written in English following the CEUR format (Latex template is available here) and submitted electronically in PDF format via Easychair at the following link:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cpsw25
Proceedings
Accepted papers will be published online on the CEUR platform (so they are indexed but the authors retain the copyright of their work). Selected works will be invited for extended journal versions, as done in previous editions (ACM JETC 2023, Springer JSPS 2024).
