CAiSE 2025: Call for Workshops
CAiSE is the premier conference series on Advanced Information Systems (IS) Engineering. It covers all relevant topics in the area, including methodologies and approaches for IS engineering, innovative platforms, architectures and technologies, and engineering of specific kinds of IS. CAiSE conferences also have the tradition of hosting workshops in related fields. Workshops are intended to focus on particular topics and provide ample room for discussions of new ideas and developments.
CAiSE 2025, the 37th edition of the CAiSE series, invites proposals for workshops to be held in conjunction with the main conference, related to the CAiSE topics, covering new emerging topics and targeting innovative papers in special focus areas.  Workshop organisers are strongly encouraged to focus their events on topics that are not already explicitly addressed by the two co-located working conferences BPMDS and EMMSAD.
Prospective workshop organisers should specify whether they plan an event with a presentation-oriented track, a discussion-oriented track, or both.
Presentation-oriented track
These will concentrate on presentations of accepted papers and discussions of these papers. The proceedings of these workshops are intended to be published in a joint volume in the Springer LNBIP series. Submissions must conform to the Springer LNCS/LNBIP format and should not exceed 12 pages. According to the Springer standards, the overall acceptance rate cannot exceed 45%-50%.
Discussion-oriented track
This track emphasises discussions facilitated by paper presentations revolving around novel ideas and early-stage research. Since the main criterion for paper acceptance in such workshops is relevance and potential for raising discussion, they are not expected to have their proceedings in the Springer LNBIP volume. The discussion-oriented track papers will be submitted to CEUR-WS.org for online publication provided that preconditions for publishing at CEUR-WS.org are met.
Proposal submission
Workshop proposals should be submitted via EasyChair at the following address:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=caise2025<https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=caise2024>
Please select the Author role and the CAiSE 2025 - Workshops track.Prior contact with the workshop chairs (caise2025-workshops at easychair.org) is encouraged.
The organiser(s) of approved workshops will be responsible for advertising their own workshop, eliciting high-quality submissions, organising the reviewing process of their workshop’s papers according to the principles and guidelines of CAiSE, and collecting camera-ready copies of accepted papers (verifying that they comply with the formatting rules). Organisers (including co-organizers) are expected to attend their entire workshop.
Detailed instructions for workshop proposers
The proposal (up to 1000 words) should cover the following points:

  *
Workshop title, duration (1 day or 2 days), preferred date (16th-17th June 2025)

The submission should include a one-paragraph biographical sketch for each organiser, describing relevant qualifications and experience. Please specify at least one PC chair. PC chairs will not be allowed to submit papers to the workshop, but other organisers (who will have no oversight over the review process) are welcome to do so.
  *
Purpose: What are the main goals of the workshop? Please list the workshop topics. How does the focus of the workshop differ from the main conference? How does the focus of the workshop differ from other potential CAiSE events? (Workshop proposers are advised to look at the workshops and working conferences held at CAiSE 2023 and CAiSE 2024 and differentiate your scope from theirs.)
