The SAT Competition 2013 is a competitive event for solvers for the Boolean Satisfiability (SAT) problem. It is organized as a satellite event to the 16th International Conference on Theory and Applications of Satisfiability Testing (SAT 2013) and stands in the tradition of the SAT Competitions that have been held yearly from 2002 to 2005 and biannually starting from 2007, the SAT-Races held in 2006, 2008 and 2010, and the SAT Challenge 2012. The emphasis of SAT Competition 2013 is on evaluation of core solvers. Additionally, the UNSAT tracks of the competition will require certification.

This call is to invite and encourage submissions of SAT solvers, benchmarks and benchmark generators for SAT Competition 2013 tracks, listed below:

1. Core solvers, Sequential, Application SAT track.
2. Core solvers, Sequential, Application certified UNSAT track.
3. Core solvers, Sequential, Application SAT+UNSAT track.
4. Core solvers, Sequential, Hard-combinatorial SAT track.
5. Core solvers, Sequential, Hard-combinatorial certified UNSAT track.
6. Core solvers, Sequential, Hard-combinatorial SAT+UNSAT track.
7. Core solvers, Sequential, Random SAT track.
8. Core solvers, Sequential, Random certified UNSAT track.
9. Core solvers, Sequential, Random SAT+UNSAT track.
10. Core solvers, Parallel, Application SAT+UNSAT Track.
11. Core solvers, Parallel, Hard-combinatorial SAT+UNSAT Track
12. Core solvers, Parallel, Random SAT Track
13. "Open track": Any type of solver, Parallel, 1/3Application + 1/3Hard-Combinatorial + 1/3Random (SAT+UNSAT) track.
14. Core solvers, Sequential, MiniSAT Hack-track, Application SAT+UNSAT track.
