Record Number of Submissions Received

With the submission deadline now behind us, we are very happy to share that RTSS’25 received slightly over 200 papers, a substantial growth in submissions. We thank all authors for their trust and for submitting their work to RTSS’25.

The program committee is now hard at work to select the strongest and most interesting program possible. Mark your calendars and plan your travel; we will have many interesting talks and outstanding work presented in Boston this coming December.

In the meantime, stay tuned for upcoming calls for workshops, the work-in-progress track, and more.

Clarification Regarding Supplemental Materials

Authors are invited to submit supplemental research artifacts such as source code, mechanized proofs, data sets, formal models, short demo videos, etc. alongside their manuscripts.

To this end, the paper submission form on HotCRP provides the opportunity upload supplemental materials (up to 600 MB, as a ZIP archive). Ideally, each submitted artifact should contain a README with a table of contents, an overview or guidance for reviewers, and reproduction instructions (if applicable).

Authors should make use of the official option to provide supplemental materials alongside their manuscripts rather than linking to repositories on GitHub or elsewhere.

Please refer to the paper submission guidelines for further details.

Policy on Remote Participation

RTSS’25 is an in-person conference (i.e., it is not a hybrid conference), but exceptions can be made for authors on a case-by-case basis according to the following TCRTS guidance:

In-person presentations are expected. However, if an author has a valid reason why neither they nor their co-authors can attend the conference in person, then exceptions can potentially be made at the discretion of the Program Chair. Authors who know in advance that this will apply to them, for example because they cannot get a visa for the host country, should contact the Program Chair prior to paper submission.

Following existing TCRTS policy, one author will be required to register for the conference at the “in-person” rate (either student or full) in any case.

Please contact the track chairs by email via rtss25-track-chairs@mpi-sws.org if you would like to inquire about a possible exception or in case of any questions.
