-- ABOUT ETAPS --
ETAPS is a primary forum for academic and industrial researchers working on
topics relating to software science. ETAPS, established in 1998, is a conf
ederation of four annual conferences accompanied by satellite workshops.
ETAPS 2025 is the twenty-eighth event in the series.
-- Why choose ETAPS? --
* ETAPS is one of the world's leading fora for research on software
science, with a history of more than 25 years.
* The proceedings of ETAPS appear in gold open access, with no article
processing charge for the authors specifically.
* All constituent conferences provide artifact evaluation.
* In addition to the conference, ETAPS also unites the software science
community with activities such as a blog on software science, a PhD
workshop, sessions on diversity and inclusion and an ask-me-anything
session.
* Poster and Tool demo sessions are organized over the week.
-- What is new in 2025? --
* Two submission rounds for ESOP - see https://etaps.org/2025/esop/

-- PUBLICATION --
The proceedings will be published in the Advanced Research in Computing and
Software Science (ARCoSS) subline of Springer's LNCS series. The proceedin
gs volumes will appear in gold open access, so the published versions of al
l papers will be available for everyone to download from the publisher's we
bsite freely from the date of online publication, perpetually. The copyrigh
t of the papers will remain with the authors.
-- AWARDS --
The strongest papers from the four conferences will be marked as distinguis
hed papers and highlighted in the conference program. From these distinguis
hed papers, the EAPLS, EASST, and EATCS, and the Best Tool Paper Award comm
ittees will select the best ETAPS papers.
The ETAPS Test-of-Time Award will be granted, recognizing outstanding paper
s published at ETAPS more than ten years in the past.
The ETAPS Rance Cleaveland Test-of-Time Tool Award acknowledges the importa
nce of reliable and well-maintained research tools and the significant effo
rt that their creation and maintenance entails.
The Doctoral Dissertation Award will be granted to promote and recognize an
outstanding dissertation in the research areas covered by the four main ET
APS conferences.
All distinguished papers will be highlighted in the program.
-- SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS --
The four main conferences of ETAPS 2025 solicit contributions of the follow
ing types. All page limits are given **excluding the bibliography**.
* ESOP: regular research papers of max 25 pp, experience reports of max
15 pp, and fresh perspectives providing new insights on programming
languages and systems of max 15 pp. For the sake of flexibility, submit
ted
research papers may be formatted in other formats. There is no page lim
it
at the submission time. Please refer to https://etaps.org/2025/esop for
more details.
* FASE: regular research papers and empirical evaluation papers of
max 18 pp; new ideas and emerging results (NIER) papers of max 8 pp;
tool demonstration papers and data showcase papers of max 8 pp
(+ optional appendix of max 6 pp),
* FoSSaCS: regular research papers of max 18 pp
* TACAS: regular research papers, case study papers, and regular tool
papers of max 16 pp,
tool demonstration papers of max 6 pp
For definitions of the different paper types and specific instructions, whe
re they are present, see the web pages of the individual conferences.
All accepted papers will appear in Springer proceedings and have presentati
ons during the conference. A condition of submission is that, if the submis
sion is accepted, one of the authors attends the conference to give the pre
sentation. We plan ETAPS 2025 as an on-site conference.
Submitted papers must be in English, presenting original research. They mus
t be unpublished and not submitted for publication elsewhere. In particular
, simultaneous submission of the same contribution to multiple ETAPS confer
ences is forbidden.
Submissions must follow the formatting guidelines of Springer's LNCS (use t
he llncs.cls class) and be submitted electronically in pdf through the Easy
chair author interface of the respective conference. Submissions not adheri
ng to the specified format and length may be rejected immediately.
ESOP, FASE, and TACAS will use double-blind reviewing (in the case of TACAS
, only for regular research papers). Authors are asked to omit their names
and institutions; refer to prior work in the third person, just as prior wo
rk by others; not to include acknowledgments that might identify them.
ESOP and FoSSaCS will use an **author rebuttal phase**. TACAS will use rebu
ttal for selected submissions (those in the gray zone).
Artifact submission and evaluation
Regular tool paper and tool demonstration paper submissions to TACAS must b
e accompanied by an artifact submitted shortly after the paper. The artifac
t will be evaluated, and the outcome will be considered in the paper's acce
ptance decision.
For research paper and case study paper submissions, pre-paper-acceptance s
ubmission of an artifact is optional; if an artifact is submitted at this p
oint, it will be handled as described above.
Alternatively, authors of papers of these categories may submit an artifact
for evaluation after the paper has been accepted. The outcome of the artif
act evaluation will then not change the paper acceptance decision.
ESOP, FASE, and FoSSaCS will accept artifact submissions; however, particip
ation in it is voluntary; the artifact submission deadline is after the pap
er notification deadline. The outcome will not alter the paper acceptance d
ecision.
For ESOP, artifacts may be submitted with an accompanying short 5-page expe
rience report (including a 1-page bibliography) that will appear in the con
ference proceedings.
For specific instructions regarding artifacts, see the web pages of the ind
ividual conferences.
-- SATELLITE EVENTS (May 3-4, 2025) --
Several satellite workshops and other events will take place during the wee
kend before the main conferences.
-- CITY AND HOST INSTITUTION --
ETAPS 2025 will take place in Hamilton, Canada and is organized by McMaster
University. The Faculty of Engineering at McMaster University has a reputa
tion for innovative programs, cutting-edge research, leading faculty, and a
spiring students. It has earned a strong reputation as a center for academi
c excellence and innovation. The Faculty has approximately 180 faculty memb
ers, along with close to 4,500 undergraduate and 1,000 graduate students. T
he Faculty of Engineering promotes a nurturing and inclusive environment wh
ere opportunities are made available for personal growth and professional d
evelopment. McMaster University beautiful campus is at the north-west end o
f Hamilton on the western end of Lake Ontario, between the Niagara Escarpme
nt, conservation lands, and the Royal Botanical Gardens. Hamilton, with a p
opulation of over 500,000, is a vibrant community with easy access to Toron
to and the Niagara region. It is located at the northern tip of an ecologic
al zone commonly called the Carolinian Forest that encompasses the southern
most portion of Ontario but occurs nowhere else in Canada. As a result, Ham
ilton is home to many unique species of plants and animals that only occur
here because the summer climate approaches that of North and South Carolina
in the United States. For further information, please refer to https://tou
