The 2025 IEEE International Conference on Software Services Engineering (SSE 2025) is focusd on software as a service (SaaS) – a framework for encapsulating and delivering applications as services has been a very popular architecture of choice for many business applications. Despite the successes and unparalleled popularity, next-generation software services are increasingly pressured to become more than just encapsulated code with a service interface. Next generation software services are therefore anticipated to be the
superheroes that, in addition to encapsulating service code, do somehow apply state-of-the-art techniques that cut across the areas of service computing, machine learning, software engineering, pervasive computing, IoT, dependable computing, psychophysiological or brain science, autonomics, among others, to support the emerging cutting-edge applications of the future. Topics of interest include:

• Human in SSE (Human-Centric Requirements, Pervasive Software Services)
• IoT: Context Awareness (DevOps Platforms, Microservice-based IoT Frameworks, Integration and Operability)
• NextGen SSE (AI-Enabled SSE, SSE for Responsible AI, SSE based on LLM, Digital Twins for SSE)
• Intelligent Operations (DevOps & SSE, maintenance of SSE systems, service management, crossover service convergence)
• Industrial SSE
• Applications & case studies, tools, practical experiences

Additional details are available on the website.


Authors are invited to prepare early and submit original papers to IEEE SSE 2025. All submitted manuscripts will be peer-reviewed by at least three reviewers. Accepted and presented papers will appear in the conference proceedings published by the IEEE Computer Society Press. The use of content generated by artificial intelligence (AI) in an article (including but not limited to text, figures, images, and code) shall be disclosed in the acknowledgments section of any article submitted to an IEEE publication. The AI system used shall be identified, and specific sections of the article that use AI-generated content shall be identified and accompanied by a brief explanation regarding the level at which the AI system was used to generate the content.
