********************************************************************************
QBFEVAL'19 - Competitive Evaluation of QBF Solvers
A joint event with the 22nd Int. Conference on Theory and Applications 
of Satisfiability Testing (SAT)
Lisbon, Portugal, July 7 - 12 2019
********************************************************************************

QBFEVAL'19 is the 2019 competitive evaluation of QBF solvers, and the 
fourteenth evaluation of QBF solvers and instances ever. QBFEVAL'19 
awards solvers that stand out as being particularly effective on 
specific categories of QBF instances.

We warmly encourage developers of QBF solvers to submit their work, even 
at early stages of development, as long as it fulfills some very simple 
requirements.
We also welcome the submission of QBF formulas to be used for the 
evaluation. Researchers thinking about using QBF-based techniques in 
their area (e.g., formal verification, planning, knowledge 
representation & reasoning) are invited to contribute to the evaluation 
by submitting QBF instances of their research problems (see the 
requirements for instances). The results of the evaluation will be a 
good indicator of the current feasibility of QBF-based approaches and a 
stimulus for people working on QBF solvers to further enhance their tools.

For questions, comments and any other issue regarding QBFEVAL'19, please 
get in touch with the organizers via qbfeval at qbflib.org. Details about 
solvers and benchmarks submission, tracks, and related rules, are 
available at http://www.qbflib.org/qbfeval19.php
