			  Pragmatics of SAT 
	     a workshop of the SAT conference  within the
  Federated Logic Conference (FLoC) 2010 July 10, 2010 - Edinburgh,
			     Scotland, UK 

The  aim of the  pragmatics of  SAT workshop  is to  allow researchers
concerned with the design of efficient SAT solvers or SAT encodings to
meet and discuss about their  latest results. The workshop is also the
place for users of SAT technology to present their applications.  This
workshop follows  the spirit of  Pragmatics of Decision  Procedures in
Automated Reasoning organized at FLoC 2006.

Topics

Main areas of interest include, but are not restricted to:

    * techniques for debugging or certifying solvers
    * visualisation of benchmarks structure
    * monitoring solver behaviour
    * evaluation of solvers
    * efficient data structures
    * domain specific encodings
    * taking into account multi-core technology
    * domain specific heuristics
    * new application of sat technology
    * system/library description

Submission

There  are two  possible type  of  submissions for  the workshop.  The
papers are  supposed to be submitted  electronically through EasyChair
as a PDF file using the LNCS style (the same as the SAT conference).
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=pos10

    * Regular  papers  (up  to  14  pages). Accepted  papers  will  be
      published in the CEUR-WS electronic proceedings.  
    * System descriptions (up to 6 pages). Accepted papers will be 
      published in the JSAT journal, in the new system description category.

The final format  of the paper will be  different: system descriptions
will be published as a 4  page JSAT style while regular paper will use
a specific workshop style.

Authors should provide enough information and/or data for reviewers to
confirm  any performance  claims. This  includes links  to  a runnable
system,  access  to  benchmarks,  reference to  a  public  performance
results, etc.

The system description category  especially targets the authors of the
systems  that enter the  SAT 2010  conference competitive  events (SAT
Race 2010, PB  2010, MAXSAT 2010, QBFEVAL 2010, ...).  The aim of this
workshop   is   to  push   forward   peer-reviewed  published   system
descriptions as a means  to spread technical information regarding the
design  of  solvers.  System  descriptions are  expected  to  describe
briefly but precisely  the main features of the  system, in a specific
version.

Regular papers provide more space  to describe in detail a full system
or application, provide experimental results, etc.  


Important dates

    * Submission deadline: March 26, 2010.
    * Authors notification: April 23, 2010.
    * Final version due: May 15, 2010.
    * The workshop will take place on July 10th, 2010.


Tutorial by Youssef Hamadi: From Parallel SAT to Distributed SAT

This tutorial will present an  overview of parallelism in SAT. It will
start with a presentation  of classical divide and conquer techniques,
discuss  their  ancient  origin   and  compare  them  to  more  recent
portfolio-based  algorithms.  It  will  then  present  the  impact  of
clause-sharing  on their performances  and discuss  various strategies
used  to control  the communication  overhead. A  particular technique
used to control the classical diversification/intensification tradeoff
will also be presented. Finally, perspectives will be given which will
relate the current parallel SAT technologies to the expected evolution
of  computational  platforms,   leading  to  distributed  SAT  solving
scenarios.

That web site is dedicated to SAT solvers designers willing to share the details of their SAT solvers.

It is the expected place to discuss data structures, platform specific tuning, heuristics, etc.

It is also the place to comment the source code of the SAT solvers that participated to the SAT competition.

Only registered users can post a comment or launch a new thread. Please contact daniel at satlive dot org to register to that site.

Contributed by: Dave Tompkins
Keywords:Local Search, SAT tools, programming language, MAXSAT
 
  
 

The UBCSAT software is availabe for download at: http://www.satlib.org/ubcsat -- the software was described in a paper presented at SAT 2004.

UBCSAT is a framework for Stochastic Local Search (SLS) algorithms for SAT. It includes fast implementations of many existing SLS algorithms (WalkSAT, SAPS, Adaptive Novelty+, ...) in a framework designed to facilitate the empirical analysis of SLS algorithms. UBCSAT has been designed to make it easy to add new algorithms and reporting capabilities, and so future releases will include more algorithms and features. Note that UBCSAT also provides support for the weighted MAX-SAT problem.

If you would like to be notified of future releases of UBCSAT, we have set up a mailing list you can subscribe to (details are on the website).
