-- 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
confederation 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 proceedings
volumes will appear in gold open access, so the published versions of all
papers will be available for everyone to download from the publisher's
website freely from the date of online publication, perpetually. The
copyright of the papers will remain with the authors.
-- AWARDS --
The strongest papers from the four conferences will be marked as distinguished
papers and highlighted in the conference program. From these distinguished
papers, the EAPLS, EASST, and EATCS, and the Best Tool Paper Award committees
will select the best ETAPS papers.
The ETAPS Test-of-Time Award will be granted, recognizing outstanding papers
published at ETAPS more than ten years in the past.
The ETAPS Rance Cleaveland Test-of-Time Tool Award acknowledges the importance
of reliable and well-maintained research tools and the significant effort 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
ETAPS conferences.
All distinguished papers will be highlighted in the program.
-- SATELLITE EVENTS (May 3–4, 2025) --
Several satellite workshops and other events will take place during the
weekend 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 reputation
for innovative programs, cutting-edge research, leading faculty, and aspiring
students. It has earned a strong reputation as a center for academic excellence
and innovation. The Faculty has approximately 180 faculty members, along with
close to 4,500 undergraduate and 1,000 graduate students. The Faculty of
Engineering promotes a nurturing and inclusive environment where opportunities
are made available for personal growth and professional development. McMaster
University beautiful campus is at the north-west end of Hamilton on the western
end of Lake Ontario, between the Niagara Escarpment, conservation lands, and
the Royal Botanical Gardens. Hamilton, with a population of over 500,000, is
a vibrant community with easy access to Toronto and the Niagara region. It is
located at the northern tip of an ecological zone commonly called the Carolinian
Forest that encompasses the southernmost portion of Ontario but occurs nowhere
else in Canada. As a result, Hamilton 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
