FIRST CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

First International Summer School on
Satisfiability Checking and Symbolic Computation

July 31 - August 04, 2017
Saarbruecken, Germany

Application deadline: June 01, 2017
Notification deadline: June 15, 2017

For detailed information on the school's aim,
program and the application procedure see
http://www.sc-square.org/CSA/school/
================================================

The school introduces graduate students and researchers from academia
and industry into research and methodology in both Satisfiability
Checking (SAT/SMT) and Symbolic Computation with one focus on their
interconnections. It combines a thorough introduction into the theory of
both fields with lectures on state-of-the-art software systems and their
implementation. This is supplemented with presentations by lecturers
from industry discussing the practical relevance of the topics of the
school.
This project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon
2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No
H2020-FETOPEN-2015-CSA 712689. Participation is free of charge. There
is a limited number of free shared rooms available for distribution by
the selection committee. Please express your interest with your
application. Travel costs cannot be covered by the school.
