First IEEE International Workshop on Pervasive Neuromorphic Computing System=
s and Applications
PNCSA 2025

March 17, 2025, Walter E. Washington Convention Center, Washington DC, USA.

To be held in conjunction with

The 23rd IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communicat=
ions (PerCom 2025)

The pervasive diffusion of Cyber Physical Systems (CPSs) profoundly changed =
the way to interact with the surrounding environment. Usually equipped with =
sensors and actuators that provide context awareness and action capabilities=
, in the recent period, we are witnessing an evolution of these systems towa=
rds a new level of intelligence. Through the Artificial Intelligence (AI), w=
e are able to build a novel type of systems known as Intelligent Cyber Physi=
cal Systems (ICPSs), where a cognition layer is involved to enable a ``reaso=
ning'' step after the computation. In such a context, Deep Learning can be c=
onsidered a powerful tool to address complex tasks, however it typically req=
uires models with a large number of parameters and extensive training datase=
ts, making it unsuitable for Edge pervasive applications where resources are=
 limited, and real-time processing is crucial.
In light of these limitations, neuromorphic computing has emerged as a promi=
sing alternative representing a novel paradigm within the realm of neural co=
mputation, offering a unique approach to modeling and understanding the intr=
icacies of the brain information processing. Born to bridge the gap between =
neuroscience and artificial intelligence, neuromorphic computing exploits th=
e principles at the base of neuro-biological systems in order to process dat=
a more efficiently than traditional architectures, addressing the challenges=
 typically encountered when working with Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) i=
n terms of energy efficiency, event-driven computation, and adaption to envi=
ronment changes, thus making them suitable for a wide range of application d=
omains. This workshop aims to explore the pervasive use of neuromorphic comp=
uting systems for the implementation of novel biological-inspired architectu=
res and applications by leveraging innovative approaches and optimizing the =
computational resources. In this sense, we believe that the topics as well a=
s the challenges posed by this novel paradigm are strictly related with the =
pervasive computing and could rise the interest of the PerCom research commu=
nity, thanks also to its wide range of application fields.

The workshop aims to attract researchers from different sectors to come up w=
ith new ideas and propose discussions about solutions involving the pervasiv=
e use of the neuromorphic computing on several application domains.

The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

, 2-column format using the IEEE conference template (https://www.ieee.org/c=
onferences/publishing/templates.html). Papers must be submitted electronical=
ly as PDF files. All submitted papers will be subject to single blind peer r=
eviews by Technical Program Committee members and other experts in the field=
. All presented papers in the conference will be published in the proceeding=
s of the conference and submitted to the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. Author=
s are requested to first register their submissions and submit their manuscr=
ipts in PDF format via EasyChair (https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=3D=
percom2025), during the process please make sure to select "Workshop on Perv=
asive Neuromorphic Computing Systems and Applications". Note that at least o=
ne author of each accepted paper must register and attend the workshop to pr=
esent the paper. Failure to present the paper at the workshop will result in=
 the withdrawal of the paper from the Proceedings.
