Theory And Applications Of Satisfiability Testing Sat 2015

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 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.

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 proceedings of the 24th International Conference on Theory and Applications of Satisfiability Testing, SAT 2021, which took place in Barcelona, Spain, in July 2021. The 37 full papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 73 submissions. They deal with theory and applications of the propositional satisfiability problem, broadly construed. 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 reasoning.

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.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 23rd International Conference on Theory and Applications of Satisfiability Testing, SAT 2020, which was planned to take place in Alghero, Italy, during July 5-9, 2020. Due to the coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic, the conference was held virtually. The 25 full, 9 short, and 2 tool papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 69 submissions. They deal with 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 (including both novel application domains and improvements to existing approaches), as well as case studies and reports on findings based on rigorous experimentation.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 20th International Conference on Theory and Applications of Satisfiability Testing, SAT 2017, held in Melbourne, Australia, in August/September 2017. The 22 revised full papers, 5 short papers, and 3 tool papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 64 submissions. The papers are organized in the following topical sections: algorithms, complexity, and lower bounds; clause learning and symmetry handling; maximum satisfiability and minimal correction sets; parallel SAT solving; quantified Boolean formulas; satisfiability modulo theories; and SAT encodings.

This is the first book presenting a broad overview of parallelism in constraint-based reasoning formalisms. In recent years, an increasing number of contributions have been made on scaling constraint reasoning thanks to parallel architectures. The goal in this book is to overview these achievements in a concise way, assuming the reader is familiar with the classical, sequential background. It presents work demonstrating the use of multiple resources from single machine multi-core and GPU-based computations to very large scale distributed execution platforms up to 80,000 processing units. The contributions in the book cover the most important and recent contributions in parallel propositional satisfiability (SAT), maximum satisfiability (MaxSAT), quantified Boolean formulas (QBF), satisfiability modulo theory (SMT), theorem proving (TP), answer set programming (ASP), mixed integer linear programming (MILP), constraint programming (CP), stochastic local search (SLS), optimal path finding with A*, model checking for linear-time temporal logic (MC/LTL), binary decision diagrams (BDD), and model-based diagnosis (MBD). The book is suitable for researchers, graduate students, advanced undergraduates, and practitioners who wish to learn about the state of the art in parallel constraint reasoning.
