Dear DX community,

I do hope that you had a nice start into 2025, and in the name of the entire DX steering committee I wish you all the best for the new year! With the first weeks already gone, it is my pleasure to let you know about a few details concerning upcoming DX-related events.

*** In a few days, the DX conference website for this year's event in Nashville, TN will go online. In 2025, we will go back to our traditional mid-September time-frame, which entails a submission deadline in early May (the detailed schedule will be announced in the next few days on our website).
Complementing the tracks we saw last year (long and short papers, PhD forum, journal-/major-conference first), there will be a few new categories as announced on the website. Like for our last year's proceedings with 534 pages [1], we are proud that Dagstuhl will again serve as our publisher for the official open-access DX proceedings.

*** In 2025, we will have a competition again! The contestants can participate in (any subset of) three benchmarks that are dedicated to isolate faults in three cyber-physical systems - a combustion engine, a steam line, and a liquid propulsion rocket engine. Complementing the information page that will become available with the DX website, our repository with detailed information and contact data for the competition and benchmark chairs is already online [2]!

We encourage you to pariticipate and let us kindly know if you intend to do so. If there is a question, please don't hesitate to contact us. Please note that the deadline for submissions will be April 1st (the corresponding DX competition papers are due with the regular DX paper deadline). Even in case of an extension, the contestants will receive their feedback about 2 weeks prior to the DX submission deadline so that it is available for inclusion in the paper.
As extra motivation, I'd like to let you know that we're in contact with the AIJ associate editor Meir Kalech who is responsible for special issues dedicated to AI competitions. Depending on the submissions, the DXC competition might become part of such a special issue, so that we would invite contestants for extended versions of their DX competition papers.

*** We already saw 70 downloads for our last year's proceedings with more than 500 pages, which I consider to be a promising number. In our journey to grow as a community with a flourishing conference, one of our goals is certainly to improve the DX conference's ranking. While DX had a B CORE ranking for a very long time, a few years ago it was lowered to C[3].
In order to be able to improve this ranking again, we're kindly asking you to consider citing new and old DX papers, and we are also looking forward to receiving your submissions reporting your latest research on diagnosis- and resilience-related topics for DX'25!

*** Last but not least, I'd like to express my special thanks to the organizing teams and PC members of DX'25, DX'24 and the DXC'25, as well as to the fellow members of the DX steering committee for their dedication to DX and the hard work on making things happen.

See, hear and read you all soon! Ingo 

(Ingo Pill, chair of the DX steering committee)
