SMT 2018 - Call For Papers


  16th International Workshop on Satisfiability Modulo Theories

July 12 - 13, 2018, Oxford, UK

Affiliated with IJCAR 2018, part of FLoC 2018

http://smt-workshop.cs.uiowa.edu/2018/


***************************************************************************


Background

=========


Determining the satisfiability of first-order formulas modulo background 
theories, known as the Satisfiability Modulo Theories (SMT) problem, has 
proven to be an enabling technology for verification, synthesis, test 
generation, compiler optimization, scheduling, and other areas. The 
success of SMT techniques depends on the development of both 
domain-specific decision procedures for each background theory (e.g., 
linear arithmetic, the theory of arrays, or the theory of bit-vectors) 
and combination methods that allow one to obtain more versatile SMT 
tools. These ingredients together make SMT techniques well-suited for 
use in larger automated reasoning and verification efforts.


Aims and Scope

=============


The aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers and users of 
SMT tools and techniques. Relevant topics include but are not limited to:


* Decision procedures and theories of interest

* Combinations of decision procedures

* Novel implementation techniques

* Applications and case studies

* Benchmarks and evaluation methodologies

* Theoretical results


Papers on pragmatic aspects of implementing and using SMT tools, as well 
as novel applications of SMT, in particular in the areas of machine 
learning and statistical reasoning, are especially encouraged.


Important dates

============


* Abstract submission deadline: *April 22*, 2018

* Paper submission deadline: *April **22*, 2018

* Notification of acceptance: May 15, 2018

* Camera ready versions due: June 15, 2018

* Workshop: July 12-13, 2018


Paper submission and Proceedings

============================


Three categories of submissions are invited:


* Extended abstracts: given the informal style of the workshop, we 
strongly encourage the submission of preliminary reports of work in 
progress. They may range in length from very short (a couple of pages) 
to the full 10 pages and they will be judged based on the expected level 
of interest for the SMT community. They will be included in the informal 
proceedings.


* Original papers: contain original research (simultaneous submissions 
are not allowed) and sufficient detail to assess the merits and 
relevance of the submission. For papers reporting experimental results, 
authors are strongly encouraged to make their data available.


* Presentation-only papers: describe work recently published or 
submitted and will not be included in the proceedings. We see this as a 
way to provide additional access to important developments that SMT 
Workshop attendees may be unaware of.


Papers in all three categories will be peer-reviewed. Papers should not 
exceed 10 pages and should be in standard-conforming PDF. Technical 
details may be included in an appendix to be read at the reviewers' 
discretion. Final versions should be prepared in LaTeX using the 
easychair.cls class file. (The 10 pages do not include the references.)


To submit a paper, go to the EasyChair SMT page 
<http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=smt2018> and follow the 
instructions there.
