[FOM] CAV'06 Satellite Event; 2nd International Satisfiability Modulo Theories Competition

[Martin Davis]

CAV'06 Satellite Event
2nd International Satisfiability Modulo Theories Competition
(SMT-COMP'06)
Seattle, Washington, USA
August 16-20, 2006
CALL FOR BENCHMARKS
CALL FOR ENTRANTS
===========================================================================
Decision procedures for checking satisfiability of logical formulas are 
crucial
for many verification applications. Of particular recent interest are solvers
for Satisfiability Modulo Theories (SMT). SMT-COMP aims to spur innovation in
SMT research by providing a yearly friendly competition for SMT solvers.
SMT-COMP came out of discussions surrounding the SMT-LIB initiative, an
initiative of the SMT community to build a library of SMT benchmarks in a
proposed standard format. SMT-COMP helps serve this goal by contributing
collected benchmark formulas used for the competition to the library, and by
providing an incentive for implementors of SMT solvers to support the SMT-LIB
format.
The methodology and the results of the competition will be presented at the 
end
of CAV, and a more detailed discussion of the competition will take place in a
special SMT-COMP meeting which will take place on the evening of August 20.

Benchmarks
---------------
The potential benchmark divisions for this year will include all of the
divisions represented last year as well as several new ones. For detailed
descriptions of the divisions, refer to the SMT-LIB web page at
http://goedel.cs.uiowa.edu/smtlib/
* QF_UF (Uninterpreted Functions): This division consists of quantifier-free
formulas whose satisfiability is to be decided modulo the empty theory. Each
benchmark may introduce its own uninterpreted function and predicate symbols.
* QF_IDL (Integer Difference Logic): This division consists of quantifier-free
formulas to be tested for satisfiability modulo a background theory of
integer arithmetic. The syntax of atomic formulas is restricted to
difference logic, i.e. x - y op c, where op is either equality or inequality
and c is an integer constant.
* QF_RDL (Real Difference Logic): This division is like QF_IDL, except that 
the
background theory is real arithmetic.
* QF_UFIDL (Integer Difference Logic with Uninterpreted Functions): This
division contains benchmarks in a logic which is similar to QF_IDL, except
that it also allows uninterpreted functions and predicates.
* QF_LIA (Linear Integer Arithmetic): This division consists of 
quantifier-free
formulas to be tested for satisfiability modulo a background theory of
integer arithmetic. The syntax of atomic formulas is restricted to contain
only linear terms.
* QF_LRA (Linear Real Arithmetic): This division is like QF_LIA, except that
the background theory is real arithmetic.
* QF_UFLIA (Linear Integer Arithmetic with Uninterpreted Functions): This
division contains benchmarks in a logic which is similar to QF_LIA, except
that it also allows uninterpreted functions and predicates.
* QF_UFLRA (Linear Real Arithmetic with Uninterpreted Functions): This 
division
contains benchmarks in a logic which is similar to QF_LRA, except that it
also allows uninterpreted functions and predicates.
* QF_A (Arrays): Quantifier-free formulas over the theory
of arrays (with extensionality).
* QF_AUFLIA (Linear Integer Arithmetic with Uninterpreted Functions and
Arrays): This division consists of quantifier-free formulas to be tested for
satisfiability modulo a background theory combining linear integer
arithmetic, uninterpreted function and predicate symbols, and extensional
arrays.
* QF_UFBV[32] (Bit-vectors and Uninterpreted Functions)
Unquantified formulas over bit vectors of size up to 32 bits, with 
unintepreted
function, and predicate symbols.
* AUFLIA: (Linear Integer Arithmetic with Uninterpreted Functions and Arrays)
This division consists of formulas with quantifiers to be tested for
satisfiability modulo a background theory combining linear integer
arithmetic, uninterpreted function and predicate symbols, and extensional
arrays.
* AUFLIRA: (Arrays, Uninterpreted Functions, and Linear Arithmetic)
This division consists of formulas with quantifiers, arrays of reals indexed
by integers (Array1), arrays of Array1 indexed by integers (Array2), and
linear arithmetic over the integers and reals. This division is included to
accommodate a large number of quantified verification benchmarks that have
become available.
As with last year, we reserve the right to remove benchmark divisions if we do
not receive enough quality benchmarks or enough solvers in a particular
division. If you have access to benchmarks in any of these divisions, even if
they are not in the SMT-LIB format, please contact one of the organizers (see
below).
