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


The 9th SC-Square Workshop is a satellite event of IJCAR, held at the 
Inria Nancy
research center and LORIA in Nancy, France, from July 1 to July 6, 2024.

=== Keynote Speakers ===

We are pleased to announce our keynote speakers:

- Manuel Kauers (Johannes Kepler University, Austria)
- Lawrence Paulson (University of Cambridge, UK)

=== Key Dates ===

Submission deadline: April 12, 2024
ISSAC Fast-Track Deadline*: May 3, 2024
Notification: May 17, 2024
Final version: May 31, 2024
Workshop date: July 2, 2024

*This year, considering the rather tight schedule between the ISSAC 
conference
authors notification (April 30) and the workshop (July 2), we will allow 
an ISSAC
fast track for papers, i.e.,
(1) papers that do not make it to ISSAC on topics related to SC-Square 
will have
the opportunity to be submitted late to SC-Square as full papers;
(2) papers that do make it to ISSAC on topics related to SC-Square will 
have the
opportunity to be submitted late to SC-Square as presentation-only papers.


=== Scope ===

Symbolic Computation is concerned with the efficient algorithmic 
determination
of exact solutions to complicated mathematical problems. Satisfiability
Checking has recently started to tackle similar problems but with different
algorithmic and technological solutions.

The two communities share many central interests, but researchers from 
these two
communities rarely interact. Also, the lack of common or compatible 
interfaces
for tools is an obstacle to their fruitful combination. Bridges between the
communities in the form of common platforms and road-maps are necessary to
initiate an exchange, and to support and direct their interaction. The 
aim of
this workshop is to provide an opportunity to discuss, share knowledge and
experience across both communities.


=== Submitting to the Workshop ===

The workshop series has emerged from an H2020 FETOPEN CSA project 
"SC-Square",
which ran from 2016 to 2018. It has been continued aiming at building 
bridges
between Satisfiability Checking and Symbolic Computation. It is open for
submission and participation to everyone interested in the topics, 
whether or
not they were members or associates of the original project.

The topics of interest include but are not limited to:

- Satisfiability Checking for Symbolic Computation
- Symbolic Computation for Satisfiability Checking
- Applications relying on both Symbolic Computation and Satisfiability 
Checking
- Combination of Symbolic Computation and Satisfiability Checking tools
- Quantifier elimination and decision procedures and their embedding 
into logic
provers, including but not limited to SMT solvers, and computer algebra 
software

==== Submission guidelines ====

Submissions should be in English, formatted in Springer LNCS style and 
submitted
via EasyChair using this link:
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=scsquare2024__;!!IBzWLUs!TULWz-FaSt4--TA6ZvNckb39QnT5nUYmkKPChism8Wip1Ub36PteK50N0Ioj4lyRLG1-Fok4MjgEPlRkUQae2awa0I2k2xKTfSyTDkeYac7VDg$ 

We invite three types of submissions:

(1) FULL PAPERS on research, case studies or tool development should 
present
unpublished work not submitted elsewhere (with a limit of 16 pages, not 
counting
references)
(2) EXTENDED ABSTRACTS on research, case studies or tool development should
present unpublished (potentially ongoing) work not submitted elsewhere
(2–4 pages, not counting references)
(3) PRESENTATION-ONLY submissions on already published work, work to be
published elsewhere, or work in progress on SC-Square related open 
problems or
future challenges. Please submit an abstract for approval by the PC
(with a limit of 2 pages).

To receive the appropriate level of peer review, please declare your 
category of
your submission by prefixing the title on the EasyChair form with "FP", 
"EA" or
"PO" accordingly.

For consistency, all submissions must use the LNCS style. Current llncs 
latex
files are available from " LaTeX2e Proceedings Templates download" at:
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines__;!!IBzWLUs!TULWz-FaSt4--TA6ZvNckb39QnT5nUYmkKPChism8Wip1Ub36PteK50N0Ioj4lyRLG1-Fok4MjgEPlRkUQae2awa0I2k2xKTfSyTDkc-qJ-77Q$  


We plan to publish the proceedings of the workshop digital form, hosted 
with
CEUR-WS (see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://ceur-ws.org/__;!!IBzWLUs!TULWz-FaSt4--TA6ZvNckb39QnT5nUYmkKPChism8Wip1Ub36PteK50N0Ioj4lyRLG1-Fok4MjgEPlRkUQae2awa0I2k2xKTfSyTDkfAOrbA-g$ ). Authors may opt out of this, should they
prefer to publish the material elsewhere.

People from industry and business are warmly invited to submit papers to
describe their problems, challenges, goals, and expectations for the 
SC-square
community.
