Call for Papers, Special Tracks, and Tutorials
20th International Symposium on Visual Computing (ISVC’25)
November 17-19, 2025
Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino
Las Vegas, Nevada, USA 
The 20th International Symposium on Visual Computing (ISVC’25) will take place in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, November 17-19, 2025 (at Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino). ISVC provides a common forum for researchers, scientists, engineers, and practitioners to present their latest research findings, ideas, developments, and applications in visual computing. In particular, ISVC seeks papers contributing to the state of the art and practice in the four main areas of visual computing: (1) computer vision, (2) computer graphics, (2) visualization, and (4) virtual reality. Papers that span multiple areas are particularly encouraged. The symposium will consist of invited and contributed presentations, six keynote presentations, special tracks, and poster sessions covering all areas of visual computing.

*** Call for Special Tracks *** 
Proposals are invited for special tracks on topics relevant to ISVC (see instructions on the ISVC webpage). Special tracks are intended to stimulate in-depth discussions in special areas relevant to the symposium theme. All papers accepted for presentation in a special track will be published in the symposium proceedings. More information can be found using the links below.
*** Call for Tutorials ***
ISVC invites proposals for tutorials of interest to individuals interested in Visual Computing including graduate students, researchers and educators from academia, and researchers and practitioners from industry and government. More information can be found using the links below.
*** Submission and Review Process ***
This is a fully referred symposium. Papers submitted to ISVC must not be currently under consideration for publication in another conference. Each submission will be reviewed by three members of the Program Committee (PC) using a “double-blind” review process to determine its appropriateness for acceptance and presentation (oral or poster) at ISVC.  Therefore, submissions should not contain names or other information revealing the authors’ identity. Papers will be reviewed with an emphasis on the potential to contribute to the state of the art in the field. Selection criteria include accuracy and originality of ideas, clarity and significance of results, and presentation quality. Papers should be submitted in camera-ready format and their length should match that intended for final publication.
ChatGPT policy: ChatGPT can be used for proofreading assistance but NOT for manuscript writing, manufacturing of data, results, and arguments. Strong suspicion of violation of the above policy will result in automatically rejecting the submission. 
*** Publication ***
The symposium's proceedings are published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. Information on abstracting and indexing of the LNCS series can be found using the link below.
*** Special Issue ***
Authors of selected papers presented at ISVC’25 will be invited to submit an extended version of their work for expedited review and possible publication in a special issue on Advances in Visual Computing in the Machine Vision and Applications journal (to be confirmed) ISVC. The paper submission deadline is tentatively on April 15, 2026, with the publication of the special issue expected by the end of 2026.    
*** Attendance ***
ISVC is a premier forum for presenting and discussing current research in visual computing. At least one author must attend and present the paper at the symposium. If no authors can attend the symposium and present their paper(s) due to unforeseen reasons, they should contact the steering committee chair to make alternative arrangements (i.e., recorded presentation or presentation by another attendee).  Papers not presented at the symposium without a valid reason will be withdrawn from the symposium proceedings.
*** Job Posting ***
If your institution or company has any job openings, you can post an announcement free of charge on the ISVC website using the link below.
 
*** Sponsorship *** 
There are several sponsorship opportunities available this year, please follow the link below for more information.

19th European Conference on Software Architecture (ECSA 2025): First Call for Journal First Papers

*** First Call for Journal First Papers ***

19th European Conference on Software Architecture (ECSA 2025)

September 15-19, 2025, 5* St. Raphael Resort and Marina, Limassol, Cyprus

The European Conference on Software Architecture (ECSA) is the premier European software
architecture conference, providing researchers, practitioners, and educators with a platform to
present and discuss the most recent, innovative, and significant findings and experiences in the
field of software architecture research and practice. The 19th European Conference on Software
Architecture (ECSA 2025) will be held from September 15 to 19, 2025. ECSA 2025 is planned as
an in-person conference taking place in the beautiful city of Limassol (Cyprus).
SCOPE

A journal-first paper submitted to ECSA 2025 must adhere to the following criteria:
The paper must have been accepted after peer review by one between JSS, IEEE Software,
IST or TSE.
The paper is in the scope of the conference.
The paper has not been presented at and is not under consideration for journal-first
programs of other conferences.
PAPER SUBMISSION

We invite authors of papers that meet the above criteria to submit a proposal that includes a
summary of the original paper that highlights the contributions, motivates the relevance for
the ECSA, and briefly discusses how the work has developed after the original publication –
if it is the case. Please include the DOI of the original journal paper. ECSA offers an opportunity
to disseminate your work to a broader community audience.
 
The submission must be 3-4 pages long and conform to the Springer LNCS style
Accepted submissions will be invited to present at the conference. The track chairs will write a
summary of the accepted submissions that will be included in the conference proceedings.

Proposals must be submitted via the online EasyChair submission site for the ECSA 2025
conference, selecting the “Journal First” Track:
EVALUATION

Authors will be invited to present their paper at ECSA 2025 if it meets the above criteria. Please
note that we plan to include as many journal-first papers as possible in the ECSA main program.
However, if we receive an exceptionally high number of submissions, we may have to prioritize
presentation proposals according to their fit to the conference theme and sessions structure.
As the papers have already been reviewed and accepted by a journal, we will not review the
submission for technical content; instead, we will focus on the track’s criteria.
PRESENTATION

ECSA 2025 is planned to be an in-person/physical conference. The journal-first paper
presentations are part of the ECSA conference’s main program. As a journal-first presenter,
you will benefit from the conference presentation in many ways, such as, outreach to a broader
audience and interactions and discussions with peers. At least one author of each submission
accepted for the journal-first program must register and attend the conference to present the
paper.
IMPORTANT DATES

Paper submission: May 23, 2025
Acceptance notification: June 20, 2025

All dates are 23:59h AoE (anywhere on Earth).
