Submission Guidelines

All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. The following paper categories are welcome:

• regular research papers (10 pages).
• challenge papers (10 pages).
• position papers (5 pages).
• industrial abstracts (2 pages).

Challenge papers are intended to elaborate a solution for the previously published MULTI challenges (https://multi-workshop.github.io/2025/#challenges) thus presenting different modeling solutions, promoting a comparison between techniques and languages.

Industrial abstract authors need to submit a single-page PDF file containing the title of their contribution, the name and affiliation of authors, and a abstract of the multi-level problem they want to share in the workshop.

Submissions must adhere to the IEEE formatting instructions. LaTeX users should use the 8½ x 11 2-column LaTeX Template. Overleaf users should use the IEEE Overleaf Template. Word users should use the IEEE DOCX template (letter). Challenge papers (see section Challenges) must conform to the requirements in the challenge description.

Accepted papers will be included in the MODELS 2025 companion published by the IEEE. Accepted industrial abstracts will be published on the MULTI 2025 workshop website.
