Contemporary computation has evolved into a layered ecosystem where services, logic, and infrastructure converge. The first triad of tracks (Service Computation, Computation Tools, and Future Computing) establishes this foundation. Service Computation explores orchestration, composition, and adaptive service architectures that enable intelligent, interoperable ecosystems across the cloud–edge continuum. Computation Tools brings forward the formal underpinnings (logic, specification, reasoning, and verification) ensuring that systems remain correct, explainable, and trustworthy. Future Computing projects these principles toward emerging paradigms such as quantum, neuromorphic, and bio-inspired computation, emphasizing resilience, efficiency, and the co-design of algorithms and architectures for tomorrow’s challenges.

Building on these conceptual cores, the next triad addresses the realization and deployment layer, the dynamic infrastructure that sustains digital services at scale. Cloud Technologies and Architectures focuses on virtualization, microservices, SDN/NFV, and multi-cloud orchestration, framing the mechanisms that deliver elasticity, security, and sustainability. Edge, Fog, and Mobile Edge Computing extends computation closer to data sources, introducing latency-aware, context-sensitive architectures where analytics and learning occur in situ. This proximity computing paradigm redefines how responsiveness, privacy, and autonomy are achieved in distributed intelligent systems.

Finally, Hosted and Hybrid Cloud Services integrates the architectural and service perspectives into cohesive, real-time environments. From WebRTC-based collaboration to serverless deployments and 5G/6G convergence, hosted and hybrid infrastructures enable seamless service delivery across domains and devices. Collectively, these six tracks provide a comprehensive framework spanning formal models, intelligent orchestration, and scalable infrastructures in order to analyze, design, and implement the next generation of computation systems driving digital transformation and pervasive intelligence.

These eight tracks together form a comprehensive, layered view of modern computation: from service formalisms → computation tools → future paradigms → cloud architectures → cloud databases → edge continuum → hosted digital ecosystem → transition to AI-native cloud systems 

We solicit both academic, research, and industrial contributions. We welcome technical papers presenting research and practical results, position papers addressing the pros and cons of specific proposals, such as those being discussed in the standard fora or in industry consortia, survey papers addressing the key problems and solutions on any of the above topics short papers on work in progress, and panel proposals.

Industrial presentations are not subject to the format and content constraints of regular submissions. We expect short and long presentations that express industrial position and status.

Tutorials on specific related topics and panels on challenging areas are encouraged.

The topics suggested by the conference can be discussed in term of concepts, state of the art, research, standards, implementations, running experiments, applications, and industrial case studies. Authors are invited to submit complete unpublished papers, which are not under review in any other conference or journal in the following, but not limited to, topic areas.

All topics and submission formats are open to both research and industry contributions.

Helpful information for paper formatting for MS Word can be found here.

There is a community provided LaTeX template: the CTAN package iaria (with full IARIA formatting rules, including IARIA citation style, but for providing citation style it is tightly bound to pdflatex+biblatex+biber). In addition, there is also iaria-lite (not bound to pdflatex+biblatex+biber, but compatible with any TeX stack; thus, it cannot provide the IARIA citation formattings, but only the titlepage and content-related IARIA formatting rules). Based on the iaria package, there is a minimal working example as Overleaf template. When you are using the LaTeX templates, please still adhere to the additional editorial rules.

Slides-based contributions can use the corporate/university format and style.

Your paper should also comply with the additional editorial rules.
