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

                              CADE-19 Workshop 

 

                                 PDPAR'03
           Pragmatics of Decision Procedures in Automated Reasoning

                            Miami, Florida, USA 

                             July 28-29, 2003

                             CALL FOR PAPERS

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

The main goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers 
interested in the pragmatical aspects of decision procedures in
automated reasoning, giving them a forum for presenting and discussing
implementation and evaluation techniques.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to)

* algorithms and data structures to implement decision procedures
* techniques for the rapid prototyping of decision procedures
* techniques to implement combination or incorporation schemes
* benchmarks to evaluate and/or to compare decision procedures
* methodologies to test decision procedures
* the role of decision procedures in real-world verification efforts
* techniques to promote the re-use and the exchange of code implementing
   decision procedures, combination and integration schemas, ...

Another goal of the workshop is to provide a discussion forum for the
SMT-LIB initiative, a research initiative aimed at establishing a common
standard for the specification of benchmarks and background theories for
satisfiability modulo theories, and at creating a repository of such
benchmarks. (See http://combination.cs.uiowa.edu/smtlib/ for more info.)
The workshop will host panel discussions on the SMT-LIB format.


-----------
Submissions
-----------

Extended abstracts addressing the pragmatical aspects of decision
procedures are solicited. Submitted abstracts should not exceed 8 pages
and should be written in LaTeX with the following settings:
11pt, one column, a4paper and standard margins.

Submissions should be sent by email to pdpar03 at cs.uiowa.edu and contain:
1. title, author(s) (names, correspondence addresses, e-mail addresses);
2. small abstract (< 300 words), in plain text;
3. extended abstract in postscript or PDF format, as an attachment;
4. a single file with the LaTeX2e source of the abstract, including
    any non-standard macro used, again as an attachment.

Submissions will be peer-reviewed. The authors of accepted submissions
are expected to give a 25' presentation at the workshop.
The proceedings of PDPAR'03 will be published as an INRIA technical
report, and will be distributed at the workshop.
