Aside from plain propositional satisfiability, the scope of the meeting includes Boolean optimization (including MaxSAT and Pseudo-Boolean (PB) constraints), Quantified Boolean Formulas (QBF), Satisfiability Modulo Theories (SMT), and Constraint Programming (CP) for problems with clear connections to Boolean-level reasoning. Many hard combinatorial problems can be tackled using SAT-based techniques, including problems that arise in Formal Verification, Artificial Intelligence, Operations Research, Computational Biology, Cryptology, Data Mining, Machine Learning, Mathematics, et cetera. Indeed, the theoretical and practical advances in SAT research over the past twenty years have contributed to making SAT technology an indispensable tool in a variety of domains.

[ The Types Forum (announcements only), http://lists.seas.upenn.edu/mailman/listinfo/types-announce ] PAS 2015 - Fourth International Seminar on Program Verification, Automated Debugging and Symbolic Computation Beijing, China, October 21-23, 2015 http://pas2015.cc4cm.org/ Important Dates - Submission of papers/extended abstracts: August 30, 2015 (firm extended) - Notification of acceptance or rejection: September 20, 2015 - Final version due: October 10, 2015 - Seminar taking place: October 21-23, 2015 Overview PAS 2015 will provide a forum for researchers and software developers actively involved or interested in developing, using, and applying methods and software tools of symbolic computation for program verification and automated debugging to exchange ideas and views, to review the state of the art and discuss prospects, to present research results and experiments, and to build up contacts for future cooperation. The scientific program of the seminar will feature invited talks and contributed presentations. Specific topics for PAS 2015 include (but are not limited to): - Theories and methodologies for program verification and testing - Model checking, fault locating and program repairing - Symbolic computation and automated reasoning for program verification - Termination, correctness and complexity analysis of programs - Automated program synthesis and transformation - Logic and semantics for automated and algorithmic debugging - Program debugging paradigms and techniques - Symbolic constraint solving for verification and debugging - Tools, prototypes, empirical and case studies The previous seminars PAS 2012 and PAS 2013 were held in Beijing, China, and PAS 2014 was part of the Federated Logic Conference (FLoC) and the Vienna Summer of Logic. Submission Potential participants of PAS 2015 are invited to submit first half-page abstracts and then full papers or extended abstracts (3-5 pages) describing their work to be presented at the seminar. The submitted full papers and extended abstracts will be reviewed by the program committee for soundness and relevance to the seminar. Submission of original research papers is encouraged, while published material and work in progress will also be considered for presentation at the seminar. Electronic submissions are strongly preferred using EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=pas20150 Accepted full papers and extended abstracts will be distributed at the seminar. Authors of the full papers and extended abstracts accepted for presentation at the seminar will be invited to submit their full and/or revised papers for publication in the post-proceedings volume as a special issue of the Journal of Symbolic Computation (JSC) after the meeting. The submitted papers will be formally reviewed by external referees according to the standard refereeing procedure of JSC.
