[DMANET] 20th International Conference on Theory and Application of Satisfiability Testing (SAT 2017) - Call for workshops

20th International Conference on Theory and Application of Satisfiability Testing
August 28 to September 1, 2017, Melbourne, Australia

CALL FOR WORKSHOPS

The International Conference on Theory and Applications of Satisfiability Testing (SAT) is the premier annual meeting for researchers focusing on the theory and applications of the propositional satisfiability problem, broadly construed. In addition to plain propositional satisfiability, it also includes Boolean optimization (such as 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.

We invite proposals for workshops associated to the main conference program of SAT 2017, which will be held in Melbourne (Australia) from August 28 to September 1, 2017, colocated with CP 2017 (http://cp2017.a4cp.org) and ICLP 2017 (http://iclp17.a4lp.org), and following IJCAI 2017
(http://ijcai-17.org).

SUBMISSION OF WORKSHOP PROPOSALS

Proposals should be submitted in pdf format to the following address:
sat17workshops@gmail.com

Proposals should consist of two parts. First, a short scientific justification of the proposed topic, its significance, and the particular benefits of the workshop to the community, as well as a list of previous or related workshops (if relevant). A second, organizational part should include:
