Dear colleagues,

We are excited to announce the call for papers for the IFIP Performance 2025 conference, which will take place at Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI)https://www.cwi.nl/en/ in Amsterdam from November 11 to 14, 2025.

This conference aims to bring together researchers interested in understanding and improving the performance of communication systems through state-of-the-art quantitative models and solution techniques. The conference website is now live at https://performance2025.sciencesconf.org/. Over the coming weeks, we will update it with detailed information on keynotes, tutorials, workshops, and logistical arrangements.

Paper format and topics of interest We invite submissions of research papers that focus on performance-oriented methodologies and their application to various domains. We accept the submission of original and unpublished work in two categories:

* Regular papers: Up to 20 pages (excluding references). * Short papers: Up to 10 pages (excluding references).

Key areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

* Methodologies: Analytical modeling, resource allocation, optimization, machine learning, statistical analysis, simulation, anomaly detection, sustainability analysis, and system performance monitoring. * Application areas: Artificial intelligence and machine learning platforms, blockchain technologies, cloud and edge computing, high-performance computing, cyber-physical systems, IoT, smart grids, social networks, data centers, quantum computing, wireless networks, and privacy and security systems.

For a comprehensive list of topics and submission guidelines, please refer to the online call for papershttps://performance2025.sciencesconf.org/resource/page/id/1.

Important dates

* Submission site opens: May 1, 2025 * Abstract submission deadline: May 25, 2025 * Full paper submission deadline: June 1, 2025 * Notification to authors: July 30, 2025

Publication options Accepted regular papers will be published in a special Performance Evaluation (PEVA) issue by default, with an extended abstract included in ACM Performance Evaluation Review (PER). Alternatively, authors may opt out of PEVA and choose an expedited review in ACM Transactions on Modeling and Performance Evaluation of Computer Systems (ToMPECS), Queueing Systems: Theory and Applications (QUESTA), or Stochastic Models.

We look forward to your submissions and contributions!

Best regards, Alessandro Zocca (on behalf of the IFIP Performance 2025 organizers)
