Theory And Applications Of Satisfiability Testing

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Theory and Applications of Satisfiability Testing, SAT 2004, held in Vancouver, BC, Canada in May 2004. The 24 revised full papers presented together with 2 invited papers were carefully selected from 72 submissions. In addition there are 2 reports on the 2004 SAT Solver Competition and the 2004 QBF Solver Evaluation. The whole spectrum of research in propositional and quantified Boolean formula satisfiability testing is covered; bringing together the fields of theoretical and experimental computer science as well as the many relevant application areas.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 22nd International Conference on Theory and Applications of Satisfiability Testing, SAT 2019, held in Lisbon, Portugal, UK, in July 2019. The 19 revised full papers presented together with 7 short papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 64 submissions. The papers address different aspects of SAT interpreted in a broad sense, including (but not restricted to) theoretical advances (such as exact algorithms, proof complexity, and other complexity issues), practical search algorithms, knowledge compilation, implementation-level details of SAT solvers and SAT-based systems, problem encodings and reformulations, applications (including both novel application domains and improvements to existing approaches), as well as case studies and reports on findings based on rigorous experimentation.

The 8th International Conference on Theory and Applications of Satis?ability Testing(SAT2005)providedaninternationalforumforthemostrecentresearch on the satis?ablity problem (SAT). SAT is the classic problem of determining whether or not a propositional formula has a satisfying truth assignment. It was the ?rst problem shown by Cook to be NP-complete. Despite its seemingly specialized nature, satis?ability testing has proved to extremely useful in a wide range of di?erent disciplines, both from a practical as well as from a theoretical point of view. For example, work on SAT continues to provide insight into various fundamental problems in computation, and SAT solving technology has advanced to the point where it has become the most e?ective way of solving a number of practical problems. The SAT series of conferences are multidisciplinary conferences intended to bring together researchers from various disciplines who are interested in SAT. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: proof systems and proof c- plexity; search algorithms and heuristics; analysis of algorithms; theories beyond the propositional; hard instances and random formulae; problem encodings; - dustrial applications; solvers and other tools. This volume contains the papers accepted for presentation at SAT 2005. The conference attracted a record number of 73 submissions. Of these, 26 papers were accepted for presentation in the technical programme. In addition, 16 - pers were accepted as shorter papers and were presented as posters during the technicalprogramme.Theacceptedpapersandposterpaperscoverthefullrange of topics listed in the call for papers.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 19th International Conference on Theory and Applications of Satisfiability Testing, SAT 2016, held in Bordeaux, France, in July 2016. The 31 regular papers, 5 tool papers presented together with 3 invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 70 submissions. The papers address different aspects of SAT, including complexity, satisfiability solving, satisfiability applications, satisfiability modulop theory, beyond SAT, quantified Boolean formula, and dependency QBF.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 14th International Conference on Theory and Applications of Satisfiability Testing, SAT 2011, held in Ann Arbor, MI, USA in June 2011. The 25 revised full papers presented together with abstracts of 2 invited talks and 10 poster papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 57 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on complexity analysis, binary decision diagrams, theoretical analysis, extraction of minimal unsatisfiable subsets, SAT algorithms, quantified Boolean formulae, model enumeration and local search, and empirical evaluation.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 18th International Conference on Theory and Applications of Satisfiability Testing, SAT 2015, held in Austin, TX, USA, in September 2015. The 21 regular papers, 2 short papers and 7 tool papers presented together with 3 invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 70 submissions. The papers address different aspects of SAT, including theoretical advances (exact algorithms, proof complexity, and other complexity issues), practical search algorithms, knowledge compilation, implementation-level details of SAT solvers and SAT-based systems, problem encodings and reformulations, and applications, as well as case studies and reports on insightful findings based on rigorous experimentation.The paper 'Constructing SAT Filters with a Quantum Annealer' is published open access under a CC BY-NC 2.5 license at link.springer.com.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 21st International Conference on Theory and Applications of Satisfiability Testing, SAT 2018, held in Oxford, UK, in July 2018. The 20 revised full papers, 4 short papers, and 2 tool papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 58 submissions. The papers address different aspects of SAT interpreted in a broad sense, including theoretical advances (such as exact algorithms, proof complexity, and other complexity issues), practical search algorithms, knowledge compilation, implementation-level details of SAT solvers and SAT-based systems, problem encodings and reformulations, applications as well as case studies and reports on findings based on rigorous experimentation. They are organized in the following topical sections: maximum satisfiability; conflict driven clause learning; model counting; quantified Boolean formulae; theory; minimally unsatisfiable sets; satisfiability modulo theories; and tools and applications.
