• Application-Specific Instruction-Set Processors and Architectures
• Approximate and Autonomous Computing Systems
• Cloud Computing Accelerators
• Compression and Computer Arithmetic
• Cryptography and Security Architectures
• Design Methods, Tools, and Compilers for Application-Specific Systems
• Edge Computing and Cyber-Physical Systems, e.g., wireless, mobile, IoT
• Embedded Systems and Domain-Specific Solutions
• Heterogeneous Computing, e.g., embedded devices, HPC systems, data centers
• Reconfigurable and Custom Computing, e.g., FPGAs, CGRAs
• Signal and Image Processing Systems
• Simulation and Prototyping, e.g., validation, performance analysis
• System Quality Attributes, e.g., energy efficiency, fault tolerance, security
• Emerging Technologies in Systems, e.g., optical computing, 3D devices and interconnects, memristors for storage and logic, in-memory computing, quantum computing

Call for special session proposals:
We are soliciting special session proposals for ASAP’25. Each special session should focus on a single compelling theme to the ASAP audience and typically runs 1.5-2 hours. Each proposal should not exceed two pages, describe the topic, intended audience, and must include a list of 3-4 suggested speakers with tentative talk titles (preferably) and biographical data. Note that each speaker has an option to submit an invited paper and needs to pay the registration fee in order to attend and present his/her work. Invited papers will appear in IEEE Xplore.  

Please send your special session proposals to Professor Jason Anderson (janders@ece.utoronto.ca), IEEE ASAP’25 Special Sessions Chair, by April 1, 2025.
