The 10th Workshop on Approximate Computing
June 23th, 2025 – Naples, Italy
The Approximate Computing (AxC) design paradigm emerged as a promising solution to effectively enhance performance of computing systems. It cleverly leverages the intrinsic error resilience of applications to inaccuracy in their inner calculations to achieve a required trade-off between efficiency, performance, power demand, and acceptable error of returned results. Indeed, approximate results are hardly distinguishable from exact results for a vast plethora of applications, including audio, image, and video processing, data mining, information retrieval, machine learning, artificial intelligence, and even safety-critical applications.
The AxC’25 workshop explores the opportunity to exploit the AxC in recent application domains in an effective, dependable, and secure manner. Moreover, new techniques are moving towards considering systems as a whole, spanning from hardware to software components, broadening the potential community of interested researchers.
This year’s event will be in conjunction with The 55th Annual IEEE/IFIP International Conference on Dependable Systems and Networks (DSN 2025). To learn more, please visit the DSN website
AxC’25 accepts extended abstract and short papers submissions:
Up to 4 pages plus references.
Follow the standard IEEE conference template through the Easy-chair submission site.
All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference.
Accepted papers will be published in the DSN supplemental volume and made available through the IEEE Xplore.
