CALL FOR PAPERS

SC-square 2017
==============

Second International Workshop on Satisfiability Checking and Symbolic Computation
July 29, 2017, University of Kaiserslautern, Kaiserslautern, Germany

http://www.sc-square.org/CSA/workshop2.html


===Important dates===

Submission deadline: May 27, 2017
Notification: June 24, 2017
Final version: July 15, 2017
Workshop date: July 29, 2017

===Invited Speaker===

Jeremy Avigad (Carnegie Mellon University)


===Scope===

Symbolic Computation is concerned with the algorithmic determination of exact solutions to complex mathematical problems; more recent developments in the area of Satisfiability Checking are starting 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 of 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, along the SC-square H2020 FETOPEN Coordination and Support Activity project, is to provide a time to discuss, share knowledge and experience across both communities.

The workshop is open for submission and participation to everyone interested in the topics, whether they are members or associates of the SC-square H2020 FETOPEN CSA project or not.

The topics of interest include but are not limited to:

    - Decision procedures and their embedding into SMT solvers and computer algebra systems
    - 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

===Submission information===

Submissions should be written in English, formatted in LNCS style and submitted via EasyChair at the link below:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=scsquare2017

We invite two types of submissions, each with a page limit of 15 pages in the LNCS style.

                - Regular papers, describing research not published or submitted elsewhere.
                - Extended abstracts, which are either position papers, description of research prospects, challenges, projects, ongoing works, or applications relevant to SC-square.

The category should be declared upon submission for the appropriate level of peer review.

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