We had a fantastic SEAMS 2025 in Ottawa with a high-quality program comprising eleven long, six short, and two artifact papers, two outstanding keynotes by Jane Cleland-Huang and Bashar Nuseibeh, and a highly interactive panel on self-adaptive systems and AI. Throughout SEAMS 2025, we have seen lively discussions in all sessions.

Many thanks to all authors, attendees, and members of the program and organization committees for making SEAMS 2025 such a success.

There is something for everyone interested in software engineering, including practitioners and researchers. Click on the star by any event to add it to ‘My program’. This works well on a mobile device too. You can also download your selected events to your calendar.

Many of our hotels are full already on key days. http://conf.researchr.org/attending/icse-2025/Hotels The price of the DoubleTree by Hilton has been reduced, however, so grab the last spaces.

To help you encourage you to come, we have tagged our extensive program to highlight sessions covering topics such as

• Developing AI systems (AIware), including the AIware bootcamp on the second weekend
• Quantum SE
• SE for security
• SE for blockchain
• SE using formal methods. and FormalISE

The last day to be able to attend the Thursday banquet will be around April 4th as we have to finalize the food order then.
