			 DECISION PROCEDURES

			in Automated Reasoning

PDPAR'05 is the third workshop of a series dedicated to pragmatical
aspects of decision procedures in automated reasoning. The workshop
covers the issues related to the implementation and the assessment of
the effectiveness of decision procedures.  The workshop also serves as
a forum for the development of the "Satisfiability Modulo Theories
Library" (SMT-LIB, URL: http://combination.cs.uiowa.edu/smtlib)
initiative, that aims at establishing a standardized library of
relevant benchmarks for decision procedures.

The two previous editions have been affiliated to CADE and IJCAR. This
year, PDPAR'05 is a satellite event of CAV'05, to emphasize the
increasing role of decision procedures in computer-aided verification.

The program includes:

* two keynote presentations by

  - Natarajan Shankar (SRI)

  - Eli Singerman (Intel)

* a special session dedicated to SMT-COMP, the first "Satisfiability
  Modulo Theories" Competition. The organizers will present the set-up
  and the results of SMT-COMP.

* 9 technical papers presentations

The organizers of PDPAR'05 gratefully acknowledges the financial
support of Microsoft Research.
