Introduction

Large and complex systems have been widely implemented in the nowadays infrastructure. These systems can be found in telecommunications, smart cities, robotics, power sector, transportation, business, industry, among many others. Moreover, current technologies and the industry 4.0 have enable intelligent, autonomous, adaptable solutions that increase the complexity of the systems.

Those systems have many components that must work coherently and safely, even in case of component failures. It demands control, information, and service systems complying on adaptive, reliable, and reusable technologies and applications. Autonomous Decentralized Systems (ADS), which behave as living systems comprised of largely autonomous and decentralized subsystems, have been successfully applied to fulfill the expected characteristics in such complex systems.

The International Symposium on Autonomous Decentralized Systems (ISADS) has been the premier event in the past thirty years to have successfully addressed these challenges. ISADS 2025 aims to be the forum of the advancements and innovations in ADS concepts, technologies, applications, strategic issues, and other related topics.
