Technically, this means to move trad itional design‑time decisions to runtime and into the responsibility of sys tems themselves. As a result, systems have a dramatically increased decisio n freedom that leads to highly autonomous behaviour. The goal of this proce ss is to allow for self‑adaptation and self‑improvement of system behaviour at runtime. Especially since conditions that occur at runtime can only be anticipated to a certain degree, efficient mechanisms are needed that guide the system's behaviour even in cases of missing knowledge or uncertain env ironmental states. Consequently, the research field of Organic Computing in vestigates fundamental principles, discusses essential aspects, and researc hes novel methods that are needed to finally build self‑adaptive and self‑o rganising systems that are capable of reliable operation in complex real‑wo rld environments.\n\nThe ARCS conferences series has over 36 years of tradi tion reporting leading edge research in computer architecture and operating systems. The focus of the 2025 conference will be on mastering novel HPC c hip architectures. Within the scope of the ARCS main conference, the specia l track on "Organic Computing" focusses on developments and open challenges in the field of designing self-adaptive and self-organising systems embedd ed in real-world environments.\n\nContributions will be part of the confere nce proceedings. The proceedings of ARCS 2025 will be published in the Spri nger Lecture Notes on Computer Science (LNCS) series. The conference will b e a physical meeting with a social program in Kiel, Germany.\n\nTopics of i nterest ... are on a wide range of aspects of "Organic Computing", includin g (but not limited to):\n\nA: Principles of OC Systems\n\n System and Agen t Architectures Systems Engineering Design Techniques and Processes Natu re-Inspiration to Deal with System Complexity Self-x Properties and Lifeli ke Qualities Self-Organisation Schemes for Highly Decentralised Systems \n \nB: Autonomous Learning Behaviour in Technical Systems\n\n Reinforcement Learning from Interaction Active Learning Transfer Learning Online Conce pt Drift/Shift and Novelty/Obsoleteness Detection Transductive Inference f or Efficient Model Building Self-Awareness and Self-Reflection \n\nC: Self -Adaptation@Runtime\n\n Adaptive Monitoring and Control Mechanisms to dea l with Continual Change Robustness and Flexibility Automated Algorithm (R e-)Configuration & Selection Context-awareness and Transient Interfaces \n \nD: Metrics and Quantification\n\n System Validation Verification Under standing and Explanation Computational Trust Testbeds and Performance Ana lysis \n\nE: Hardware Solutions\n\n Adaptive Hardware Reconfigurable Hard ware Embedded AI Self-Adaptive, Self-Optimising, Self-Healing Hardware E volvable Hardware Prototypes and Demonstrators \n\nF: Applications of OC T echnology\n\n Novel Use Cases Case Study Reports Experience Reports \n\n Important Dates\n\n Paper submission deadline:  January 26, 2025 February 9, 2025 (extended) Notification of acceptance: March 16, 2025 Camera-ready papers: April 6, 2025 Conference : April 22 – 24, 2025 \n\nSubmission Guidelines\n\nSubmissions shou ld be done through EasyChair by selecting the Organic Computing track.
