EWSN 2025: Call for Papers

The 22nd International Conference on Embedded Wireless Systems and Networks
Leuven, Belgium
September 22 – 24, 2025

EWSN targets new platforms and software systems that enable sensing, communication, computation, and other embedded applications. This year’s edition will also highlight a feature topic in Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT).

Topics of Interest

Specific topics for the conference include (but are not exclusively limited to):

• AI-operated wireless sensing, actuation, and control systems
• Applications and opportunities for networked embedded systems in developing countries
• Applications of wireless embedded networks in various domains: health, automation, manufacturing, transportation, etc.
• Architectures and infrastructures for edge-cloud solutions that integrate networked embedded systems
• Communication and networking for wireless and embedded systems
• Computing architectures for networked embedded systems
• Dependability in wireless systems, including reliability, availability, safety, and real-time guarantees
• Edge/embedded intelligence paradigms, models, and techniques for networked embedded systems
• Foundation models and generative AI for networked embedded systems
• TinyML and on-device AI for networked embedded systems
• Empirical studies, measurement, validation, deployment, and experience reports
• Human-centric interaction with wireless and embedded systems
• Localization and context-awareness for embedded wireless systems and networks
• Modeling, simulation, and measurement tools for wireless systems and applications
• Neuromorphic computing
• Next-generation wireless networks, including 6G
• New communication techniques for embedded systems (Wi-Fi HaLow, NearLink, etc.)
• Operating systems, middleware, and services for networked embedded systems
• Privacy and security in networked embedded systems and applications
• Processing, storage, and management of data in embedded wireless networks
• Sustainable applications of networked embedded systems (low-power operation, energy harvesting, etc.)
• Embedded systems for joint sensing and communication with mmwave, Terahertz, Wi-Fi, visible light, etc.

Submission Details

Any paper submitted to EWSN 2025 must be original (i.e., not previously published) and should not have been published, accepted for publication, or be under review by any other venue. All submissions within the scope of EWSN are equally welcome.

The conference will accept two types of papers:

• Full Papers (max 12 pages)
• Short Papers (max 6 pages). Short papers are intended to present preliminary research results or advocate for new research directions; their titles should be prepended with “Vision paper: / Position paper: / WiP paper” when they are submitted for review as well as in the final proceedings.

EWSN 2025 will use a double-anonymous review policy during the paper review process. Submissions which are not properly anonymized will be rejected without being reviewed.

Submission to arXiv (or similar) is allowed, provided cross-citations are not made. I.e.,

• You MAY post a version of your paper on arxiv that lists the names of authors.
• You MAY NOT reference the arxiv version of your paper from the paper submitted for review at EWSN.
• You MAY NOT reference your submitted EWSN paper in the arxiv paper.
• You MAY NOT reference your submitted EWSN paper in any other papers you submit for review at other conferences.
• Once your paper is accepted, you MAY reference your EWSN paper (you can use "accepted, to appear" until the conference actually happens).

Submissions are via HotCRP: https://ewsn25.hotcrp.com/

Decisions will be: accept, reject, or one-shot revision; papers receiving a “one-shot revision” for the winter deadline will be invited to submit a revised paper by the summer deadline.

Authors of papers rejected in the winter cycle may submit a revised paper in the summer cycle along with a cover letter. Papers submitted to the summer deadline that are deemed by the program chairs to be too similar to a paper rejected from the winter review cycle will be returned without review.

Pages must use 8.5″ x 11″ (letter) two-column format, using 10-point type on 11-point leading, with a maximum text block of 7″ wide x 9″ deep with an inter-column spacing of .25″. Submissions with a page size of 11.7 x 8.3 ” (297 x 210 mm / A4) will not be accepted. The page limits include figures, tables, and references. Authors may use the EWSN 2025 template adapted from the ACM templates for convenience (on Overleaf here).

All accepted papers will be indexed in the ACM Digital Library, SCOPUS, and other prominent digital libraries.
