CC 2025: Call for Papers

The ACM SIGPLAN 2025 International Conference on Compiler Construction (CC 2025) will take place from Saturday, March 1 to Sunday, March 2, 2025, in Las Vegas, Nevada, United States.

CC 2025 is co-located with CGO, PPoPP, and HPCA. It is the 34th edition of the conference and is an ACM SIGPLAN conference, implementing guidelines and procedures recommended by SIGPLAN.

Topics of Interest

Original contributions are solicited on the topics of interest which include, but are not limited to:

• Compilation and interpretation techniques, including program representation, analysis, and transformation; code generation, optimization, and synthesis; the verification thereof.
• Run-time techniques, including memory management, virtual machines, and dynamic and just-in-time compilation.
• Programming tools, including refactoring editors, checkers, verifiers, compilers, debuggers, and profilers.
• Techniques, ranging from programming languages to micro-architectural support, for specific domains such as secure, parallel, distributed, embedded or mobile environments.
• Design and implementation of novel language constructs, programming models, and domain-specific languages.
• Implications to compiler construction from emerging or non-conventional applications (e.g., deep learning, quantum computing, DNA computing, etc.).

Submission Guidelines

All submissions must be made electronically through the conference submission website: https://cc25.hotcrp.com.

1. Abstract: Submissions must include an abstract (100–400 words), author contact information, the full list of authors and their affiliations.
2. Format: Full paper submissions must be in PDF formatted printable on US letter size paper.
   • Papers must be prepared in ACM Conference Format using the 2-column acmart format.
   • For LaTeX, use the options \documentclass[sigplan,10pt,review,anonymous]{acmart}.
   • For Word, use interim-layout.docx. Important note: The Word template on the ACM website uses 9pt font; you need to increase it to 10pt.
3. Page Limit: Papers should contain a maximum of 10 pages of text or figures, NOT INCLUDING references.
4. References: There is no page limit for references, and they must include the name of all authors (do not use et al.).
5. Supplementary Material: Appendices are not allowed. Authors may submit anonymous supplementary material, such as proofs, source code, or data sets; all supplementary material must be in PDF or ZIP format. Looking at supplementary material is at the discretion of the reviewers.
6. Resubmission: Papers may be resubmitted to the submission site multiple times up until the deadline, but the last version submitted before the deadline will be the version reviewed.
7. Rejection Criteria: Papers that exceed the length requirement, deviate from the expected format, or are submitted late will be rejected.

Prospective authors should be aware of ACM’s Copyright Policies, adhere to SIGPLAN’s Republication Policy, and to ACM’s Policy and Procedures on Plagiarism.

By submitting your article to an ACM Publication, you are hereby acknowledging that you and your co-authors are subject to all ACM Publications Policies, including ACM’s new Publications Policy on Research Involving Human Participants and Subjects.

Please ensure that you and your co-authors obtain an ORCID ID, as this will be a requirement for the publishing process.

Double-Blind Reviewing Process

CC uses a double-blind reviewing process. Authors will need to identify any potential conflicts of interest with the Program Committee (PC), as defined in the SIGPLAN policy.

To facilitate the double-blind reviewing process, submissions (including supplementary material) should not reveal the identity of the authors in any way.

• Authors should leave out author names and affiliations from the body of their submission.
• Any references to authors’ own related work should be in the third person (e.g., not “We build on our previous work …” but rather “We build on the work of …”).
• Nothing should be done in the name of anonymity that weakens the submission or makes the job of reviewing the paper more difficult. In particular, important background references should not be omitted or anonymized.

Artifact Evaluation (AE)

Authors of accepted CC 2025 papers are invited to formally submit their supporting materials to the Artifact Evaluation (AE) process. This submission is voluntary and does not influence the final decision regarding paper/poster acceptance. The AE process begins after the acceptance notification and is run by a separate committee whose task is to assess how the artifacts support the work described in the papers.

To ease the organization of the AE committee, authors are kindly asked to indicate their interest in submitting an artifact at the time of paper submission.

• Single-Blind: The artifact evaluation process is single-blinded. Authors are requested to disable any form of analytics, tracking, and logging on sites and services used to share the artifact with reviewers.
• Communication: During the process, authors and evaluators are allowed to anonymously communicate with each other through Hotcrp to overcome technical difficulties. Authors should be available to resolve clarifications within 24 hours.
• Public Availability: Authors of accepted papers are encouraged, but not required, to make these materials publicly available upon publication of the proceedings, by including them as “source materials” in the ACM Digital Library.

Badge Types

CC follows ACM’s artifact reviewing and badging policy. The AE committee will award two types of badges:

• Red badge (Artifact Usable): Awarded based on the usability and robustness of the artifact. The Light-red badge is for functional artifacts, while the Dark-red badge is granted when the artifact far exceeds usability expectations. For red badges, your artifact must be: Documented, Consistent, Complete, and Exercisable.
• Blue badge (Results Replicated): Awarded if the main paper results can be reproduced with the authors' provided artifact. If applying for this badge, include scripts to execute, gather, and plot the main results, and the README must include a statement describing the criteria for deeming results similar enough.
• Green Artifact Available Badge: This badge is awarded if the artifact is publicly available. This badge is awarded directly by the publisher if authors provide a link to the deposited artifact.

Artifact Submission Guidelines

Components of the Artifact:

1. The submission version of your paper/poster.
2. A README file (PDF or plaintext format) that explains your artifact.
3. The artifact itself, packaged as a single archive file (ZIP, TGZ, TBZ2). For artifacts larger than 600MB, provide a URL pointing to the artifact, ensuring reviewer anonymity.

General Guidelines:

• Simplify Installation: Provide a “push-button approach” (virtual machine or Docker image) or scripts that automate dependency installation, compilation, and build commands. Admin or superuser privileges should not be necessary.
• Include Data: Try to include all datasets and benchmarks used.
• Specialized Hardware: If experimental test-bed requires specialized hardware, consider providing open access to a non-tracked testbed.

**Artifact Documentation Guidelines (in README):
**

• Brief description: One or two paragraphs describing the artifact, its type, and overall behavior (inputs and outputs).
• Hardware requisites: Specify compute cores, memory (DRAM), GPU(s), FPGAs, etc.
• Software pre-requisites: Operating system and version (e.g., Ubuntu Linux LTS 2020); compiler and runtime versions (e.g., GCC 8.1, OpenMP 5.1, CUDA 9.0). Do not assume tools like CMake or Python are installed.
• Expectations: Approximate time to install, run/use the artifact, and reproduce results.

NOTE: The AE will not invest substantial time or effort on debugging the installation and use process. The information provided will be for internal use.

Call for Tool and Practical Experience Papers

This year, CC will offer a second category of papers called “Tools and Practical Experience”.

• Papers in this category must either give a clear account of a tool’s functionality or summarize a practical experience with realistic case studies.
• The successful evaluation of an artifact is mandatory for a Tool Paper.
• Practical experience papers are encouraged, but not required, to submit an artifact to the Artifact Evaluation process.
• These papers abide by the same limit of 10 pages in the ACM format, references excluded, and are not distinguished in the final proceedings. Shorter submissions accounting for scientific ideas in practice are encouraged.

Selection Criteria:

• Originality: Present CC-related technologies applied to real-world problems with unique scope or characteristics.
• Usability: Broad usage or applicability, assisting CC-related research or extensible to new technologies. Significant unimplemented components will result in rejection.
• Documentation: Tool or compiler must be presented on a website with documentation.
• Benchmark Repository: A suite of benchmarks for testing should be provided.
• Availability: The tool or compiler should be available for public use.
• Foundations: Incorporate Compiler Construction principles; thorough discussion of theoretical foundations is not required, a summary suffices.
• Artifact Evaluation: The submitted artifact must be functional and support paper claims. Mandatory for tool papers.
