15th International Symposium on Frontiers of Combining Systems
FroCoS 2025
This conference is the 15th in a series of meetings of the International Symposium on Frontiers of Combining Systems (FroCoS).
FroCoS is the main international event for research on the development of techniques and methods for the combination and integration of formal systems, their modularization and analysis. The first FroCoS symposium was held in Munich, Germany, in 1996. Initially held every two years, since 2004 it has been organized annually with alternate years forming part of IJCAR.

In various areas of computer science, such as logic, computation, program development and verification, artificial intelligence, knowledge representation, and automated reasoning, there is an obvious need for using specialized formalisms and inference systems for selected tasks. To be usable in practice, these specialized systems must be combined with each other and integrated into general purpose systems. This has led to the development of techniques and methods for the combination and integration of dedicated formal systems, as well as for their modularization and analysis.
The International Symposium on Frontiers of Combining Systems (FroCoS) traditionally focuses on these types of research questions and activities. Like its predecessors, FroCoS 2025 seeks to offer a common forum for research in the general area of combination, modularization, and integration of systems, with emphasis on logic-based methods and their practical use.
Topics of interest for FroCoS 2025 include (but are not restricted to):
The program committee seeks high-quality submissions describing original work, written in English, not overlapping with published or simultaneously submitted work to a journal or conference, workshop, symposium, etc. with archival proceedings. Selection criteria include originality of ideas, rigour of evaluation, significance of results, and quality of presentation. The page limit in Springer LNCS style is 15 pages in total excluding references.
Papers must be edited in LaTeX using the llncs style and must be submitted electronically as PDF files through Easychair at
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=frocos2025.
For all accepted papers, one author must attend the conference in person and present the paper. One author (which may be a different one, e.g. if the presenter is a student) must pay the full registration fee.
In exceptional circumstances (which must be agreed about with the organizers by the registration deadline), online presentation is an option. Still one author must pay the full registration fee.
The conference proceedings will be published in Springer's Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNAI/LNCS) series in Gold Open Access under the CC-BY-4.0 license.
