******************************************************************************************
QBFEVAL'18 - Competitive Evaluation of QBF Solvers
A joint event with the 21st Int. Conference on Theory and Applications
of Satisfiability Testing (SAT)
(affiliated with FLoC 2018)
Oxford, UK, July 9 - July 12 2018
******************************************************************************************
QBFEVAL'18 is the 2018 competitive evaluation of QBF solvers, and the
thirteenth evaluation of QBF solvers and instances ever. QBFEVAL'18
awards solvers that stand out as being particularly effective on
specific categories of QBF instances.
We warmly encourage developers of QBF solvers to submit their work, even
at early stages of development, as long as it fulfills some very simple
requirements.
We also welcome the submission of QBF formulas to be used for the
evaluation. Researchers thinking about using QBF-based techniques in
their area (e.g., formal verification, planning, knowledge
representation & reasoning) are invited to contribute to the evaluation
by submitting QBF instances of their research problems (see the
requirements for instances). The results of the evaluation will be a
good indicator of the current feasibility of QBF-based approaches and a
stimulus for people working on QBF solvers to further enhance their tools.
Details about solvers and benchmarks submission, tracks, and related
rules, are available at http://www.qbflib.org/qbfeval18.php
For questions, comments and any other issue regarding QBFEVAL'18, please
