TutorialsACSOS 2025

Call for Tutorials

With more and more researchers and practitioners looking into studying and developing systems with self-* capabilities, the requirement for a deep understanding of fundamentals, theory, tools, processes, and approaches rises. The IEEE International Conference on Autonomic Computing and Self-Organizing Systems (ACSOS) is the prime conference for autonomic, self-adaptive, and self-organizing systems. Thus, it is the leading forum to introduce, showcase, and disseminate the related practical tools, processes, and approaches to a wide audience, and to improve the understanding of the foundational theoretical frameworks.

ACSOS 2025 hereby solicits contributions for tutorials on tools, applications, processes, and techniques in autonomic computing, self-organization, and related topics on autonomous and self-* behavior, both practical and theoretical. Tutorials are expected to adhere to the same topics as the main track. They can either be long “hands-on” tutorials (3 to 4 hours), or, short “overview” or “quickstart” tutorials (1 to 2 hours).

All the tutorials will be presented in the “satellite” events program (i.e. along with workshops) of ACSOS 2025. Tutorials proposals (see below) should be accompanied by a tutorial paper, to be included in the ACSOS Companion (ACSOS-C) proceedings.

Proposals for ACSOS tutorials should be submitted through EasyChair [Link TBA] (select tutorial track).

Submission

Submissions to the tutorial track in ACSOS 2025 entail submissions of both Tutorial Proposal and Tutorial Paper as follows.

For tutorials invited with reference to an accepted ACSOS 2025 full paper, the tutorial paper submission is optional. However, the tutorial proposal document is still required.

Tutorial proposals and tutorial papers are subject to peer review and will be accepted based on relevance to the conference, expected impact on the audience, clarity, structure, scientific content, and expertise of the proponents (in the tutorials’ topics).

Tutorial proposals

Proposals for tutorials should be organised as an advertisement for participation, with a maximum of two pages and contain the following information:

• Title of the tutorial
• Authors of the tutorial (name, contact information, and affiliation). If multiple presenters/instructors are planned for the tutorial, please indicate the reference (contact) instructor
• Abstract for the website (200 words)
• Format e.g., hands-on (software tool, library, application), overview (research thread), theoretical
• Duration (1 to 2 hours) for short and (3 to 4 hours) for long tutorials
• Syllabus of the tutorial including expected learning outcomes
• Target Audience industry/ academia / mixed
• Prerequisites for the participants
• Short bio of the speakers in the tutorial
• Information about previously given tutorials on the topic or related topics, both everywhere by the same organizers, or at ACSOS even by other organizers
• Information on whether this tutorial proposal is invited to complement an accepted ACSOS full paper

Tutorial papers

The tutorial paper has to be submitted for inclusion in the proceedings of the IEEE International Conference on Autonomic Computing and Self-Organizing Systems Companion (ACSOS-C).

• 4 to 6 pages including references for short (1 to 2 hours) and long (3 to 4 hours) tutorials, respectively.
• Tutorial paper submissions are required to be formatted according to the standard IEEE Computer Society Press proceedings style guide.

Important Tutorial Submission Requirements

• By submitting a tutorial proposal to the IEEE International Conference on Autonomic Computing and Self-Organizing Systems, you are making a commitment to register and attend the conference upon acceptance of your tutorial proposal.
• Please note, that IEEE ACSOS 2025 cannot guarantee to honor specific requests for holding the tutorial on specific dates

Upon Tutorial Acceptance

• Tutorial material (i.e., slides and handouts) must be made available for download to tutorial registrants. The suggested format for all presentation slides is 16:9 (i.e., 1920 x 1080).
• One presenter per tutorial receives a complimentary one-day tutorial pass registration for the day of the tutorial. Other presenters, if any, must register for the conference and/or any tutorials they wish to attend (thus, including their own).
