     .----------------- Last Call for Papers -------------------

 

                         SMT Workshop '07

     5th International Workshop on Satisfiability Modulo Theories

 

         Previously called: Pragmatics of Decision Procedures 

                   in Automated Reasoning (PDPAR) 

 

      Berlin, Germany, 1-2 July 2007  (affiliated with CAV '2007)

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

 

Background

~~~~~~~~~~

Deciding the satisfiability of first-order formulas modulo background

theories, known as the Satisfiability Modulo Theories (SMT) problem,

has proved to be useful in verification, compiler optimization,

scheduling, and other areas.

 

The success of SMT techniques depends on the development of both

domain-specific decision procedures for each concrete 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 two ingredients together make SMT

techniques well-suited for use in larger automated reasoning and

formal verification efforts.

 

Aims and Scope

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers and users of

SMT tools and techniques. Continuing with the PDPAR tradition, we

especially encourage submission of papers focused on pragmatic

aspects. Relevant topics include but are not limited to:

 

* New decision procedures and new theories of interest

* Combination of decision procedures

* Novel implementation techniques

* Benchmarks and evaluation methodologies

* Applications and case studies

* Theoretical results

 

Important dates

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Submission deadline                  : 23 April 

Notification of acceptance/rejection : 21 May 

Final version due                    : 4 June 

Workshop                             : 1-2 July

 

Proceedings 

~~~~~~~~~~~ 

Given the informal style of the workshop, only informal proceedings

will be distributed at the workshop. We are planning to publish a

selected subset of the submitted papers as post-proceedings in a

special volume of the Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science

(ENTCS) unless the authors prefer not to.

 

Paper Submission and Proceedings 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Following the PDPAR'06 initiative, there are two categories of

submissions:

 

* 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. Given the informal style of the workshop, we will

  welcome work in progress and novel ideas that are not yet

  competitive in practice.

 

* 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 both categories will be peer-reviewed. Papers should not

exceed 10 pages (Postscript or PDF) and should be written in LaTeX,

11pt, one column, a4paper, standard margins. Technical details may be

included in an appendix to be read at the reviewers' discretion. Full

submission guidelines are at the workshop web page.

 

Invited Speakers

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

- Rupak Majumdar, University of California, Los Angeles.

 

- Peter O'Hearn, Queen Mary, University of London.

 

 

Student travel awards

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

SMT 2007 will partially reimburse some students for their

conference-related expenses. Preference will be given

to students playing an active role in the workshop. However,

students in other situations are also encouraged to apply.

 

We require applications in the form of a short recommendation letter

written by the student's supervisor, to be sent to the PC chairs by

March 30.
