	                Call for Papers

	         10th International Conference on
	Theory and Applications of Satisfiability Testing

	         May 28 - 31, Lisbon, Portugal

  The International Conference on Theory and Applications of
  Satisfiability Testing is the primary annual meeting for researchers
studying the propositional satisfiability problem (SAT). SAT'07 is the
tenth SAT conference. SAT'07 features the SAT competition, the QBF
competition, the Pseudo-Boolean evaluation, and the MAX-SAT
  evaluation.


SCOPE

  Many hard combinatorial problems can be encoded into SAT.
  Therefore improvements on heuristics on the practical, as well as
theoretical insights into SAT apply to a large range of real-world
problems. More specifically, many important practical verification
problems can be rephrased as SAT problems. This applies to
  verification problems in hardware and software. Thus SAT is becoming one
of the most important core technologies to verify secure and dependable
systems. The topics of the conference span practical and theoretical
research on SAT and its applications and include but are not limited to
proof systems, proof complexity, search algorithms, heuristics, analysis
of algorithms, hard instances, randomized
  formulae, problem encodings, industrial applications, solvers,
  simplifiers, tools, case studies and empirical results. SAT is
  interpreted in a rather broad sense: besides propositional
  satisfiability, it includes the domain of quantified boolean
  formulae (QBF), constraints programming techniques (CSP) for
  word-level problems and their propositional encoding and
  particularly satisfiability modulo theories (SMT).


SUBMISSION

  Submissions should contain original material and can either be
  regular research papers up to 14 pages or short papers up to 6
  pages. Double submissions including submissions as short and long papers
will be rejected.  Submissions should use the Springer
  LNCS style. All appendices, tables, figures and the bibliography must
fit into the page limit. Submissions deviating from these
  requirements may be rejected without review. All accepted papers
including short papers will be published in the proceedings of the
conference. The conference proceedings will be published within
  Springer LNCS series. The submission page is
  http://www.easychair.org/SAT2007. Papers have to be submitted
  electronically as PDF files. Paper submissions are due by January 19.
