The 22nd ACM International Conference on Computing Frontiers (CF'25) will
take place May 28th-30th, 2025 Cagliari, Italy. Participation is in-person
only.
Computing Frontiers (CF) is an eclectic, interdisciplinary, collaborative
community of researchers investigating emerging technologies in the broad
field of computing: our common goal is to drive the scientific
breakthroughs that support society.
CF's broad scope is driven by recent technological advances in wide-ranging
fields impacting computing, such as novel computing models and paradigms,
advancements in hardware, network and systems architecture, cloud
computing, novel device physics and materials, new application domains of
artificial intelligence, big data analytics, wearables, and IoT. The
boundaries between the state-of-the-art and revolutionary innovation
constitute the advancing frontiers of science, engineering, and information
technology — and are the CF community's focus. CF provides a venue to
share, discuss, and advance broad, forward-thinking, early research on the
future of computing and welcomes work on a wide spectrum of computer
systems, from embedded and hand-held/wearable devices to supercomputers and
data centers.
TOPICS OF INTEREST
We seek original research contributions at the frontiers of a wide range of
topics, including novel computational models and algorithms, new
application paradigms, computer architecture (from embedded to HPC
systems), computing hardware, memory technologies, networks, storage
solutions, compilers, and environments.

We strongly encourage submissions in other emerging fields of computing,
and welcome submissions that propose new directions of research and
out-of-the-box solutions for grand computing challenges. If in doubt
whether your work fits in Computing Frontiers please contact the program
co-chairs.
SUBMISSIONS
We encourage the submission of both full papers and short papers containing
high-quality research describing original, unpublished work. Full papers
are expected to provide well-rounded contributions, where novelty,
originality, and sufficient preliminary evaluation are included. Short
papers may be position papers or may describe preliminary or highly
speculative work.
Papers must be submitted through: https://cf25.hotcrp.com/
Full papers are a maximum of eight (8) pages (excluding references) and short
papers are a maximum of four (4) (including references) pages. All papers
should use the double-column ACM conference format. Page limits include
figures, tables and appendices. Authors may buy up to two (2) extra pages
for accepted full papers.
As the review process is double-blind, the removal of all identifying
information from paper submissions is required (e.g., cite own (previous)
work in the third person, avoid references to machines and/or systems that
can identify the paper authors, etc.). Papers not conforming to the above
submission policies on formatting, page limits, and the removal of
identifying information, are likely to be automatically rejected. Authors
are strongly advised to submit their papers with the final list of authors
in the submission system, as changes may not be feasible at later stages
(due to restrictions at the publisher).
By submitting your article to an ACM Publication, you are hereby
acknowledging that you and your co-authors are subject to all ACM
Publications Policies, including ACM's new Publications Policy on Research
Involving Human Participants and Subjects. Alleged violations of this
policy or any ACM Publications Policy will be investigated by ACM and may
result in a full retraction of your paper, in addition to other potential
penalties, as per ACM Publications Policy.
Registration and No-show policy: At least one full registration is required
from a submission author for each accepted paper and all accepted papers
are expected to be presented in person at the conference. If circumstances
arise such that authors are unable to present their papers at the
conference, they must contact the PC co-chairs with a proposal for a
replacement presenter. A no-show will result in exclusion from the ACM
digital library proceedings.
CALL FOR ARTIFACT EVALUATION AND DISCLAIMER
The CF25 Organizing Committee strongly encourages authors on a voluntary
basis to present the Artifact Evaluation (AE) documentation to support
their scientific results. The Artifact Evaluation is run by a different
committee after the acceptance of the paper and does not affect the paper
evaluation itself.
Authors may submit the artifact during the submission period or after the
notification. To arrange the necessary computing resources, authors are
invited to flag the option during the paper registration if they are
willing to participate in the evaluation. Authors are encouraged, but not
required, to include the AE appendix in the paper at the time of
submission. Note that the AE appendix does not count toward the page limit.
ARTIFACT PREPARATION
CF25 adopts the ACM Artifact Review and Badging (Version 1.1 - August 24,
2020). By "artifact", we mean a digital object that was either created by
the authors to be used as part of the study or generated by the experiment
itself. Typical artifacts may include system descriptions or scripts to
install the environment or reproduce specific experiments. Authors are
invited to include a one-page appendix to the main paper (after the
references). The appendix does not count toward the page limit.
To prepare the Appendix and avoid common mistakes, authors may refer to the
following guide: https://ctuning.org/ae/checklist.html
A Latex template can be found at the following link:
https://github.com/ctuning/ck-artifact-evaluation/blob/master/wfe/artifact-evaluation/templates/ae.tex
ARTIFACT REVIEW PROCESS
The Artifact Evaluation Committee will reproduce the paper by following the
instructions included in the appendix and verify ACM roles for assigned
badges. For example, in order to have a paper with an Artifact Available
badge, the code and data should be stored in a permanent archive with a DOI
or another unique identifier.
Authors may be invited by the AE Committee to revise their instructions
according to their feedback. At the end of the process, AE Committee will
recommend one or more badges to assign to the paper among those supported
by the ACM reproducibility policy.
