10th International Conference on
Rebooting Computing (ICRC) 2025

15–16 December 2025 • San Diego, CA, USA

ICRC encourages forward-looking research across the computing stack: from novel materials and devices to circuits, algorithms, system software, and network architectures. Co-design across the stack, bridging analog and digital neuromorphic approaches alongside probabilistic, reversible, and quantum computing, is especially welcome.

Topics of Interest

Future Computing Paradigms

  • Neuromorphic (brain-inspired), approximate/probabilistic, and analog computing; hybrids of these approaches
  • Energy-efficient computing including reversible, adiabatic, ballistic, and cryogenic computing
  • Quantum and optical computing
  • Biological and biochemical computing
  • Non–von Neumann architectures (e.g., in-memory processing, memory-based computing, CAM, cellular automata, neural networks)

Future Design Aspects

  • Extending Moore’s law; error-tolerant logic and circuits
  • Post-CMOS or memory-centric computing
  • 3D/2.5D and novel heterogeneous integration/packaging
  • Future circuit scaling with high reliability and/or flexibility
  • Cybersecurity in future computing systems

Future Software & Applications

  • Beyond von Neumann software design (OS, compilers, security, resource management)
  • Future programming paradigms and languages
  • Applications driving next-generation hardware (e.g., ML, deep learning, LLMs)

Submission & Publication

Full Papers Journal-Reviewed

Submit directly to npj Unconventional Computing (collection title "Future Computing: Paradigms, Technologies, Software and Applications"). Indicate interest in presenting at ICRC 2025. Accepted papers are subject to the journal’s standard APC unless waived.

ICRC Program Inclusion is determined from the first round of journal review:

  • Accept: Published in the journal; presented at ICRC.
  • Revise: Continue journal review; presented at ICRC.
  • Transfer: Considered by another Springer Nature journal (e.g., Scientific Reports); presented at ICRC.
  • Reject: Not included in ICRC program.
