About the conference

SAT 2024 is the 27th edition of the International Conference on Theory
and Applications of
Satisfiability Testing (SAT).  The scope of SAT 2024 includes all
aspects of the theory
and applications of propositional satisfiability, broadly construed.
This also includes
Boolean optimization, such as MaxSAT and Pseudo-Boolean (PB)
constraints, Quantified
Boolean Formulas (QBF), Satisfiability Modulo Theories (SMT), Model
Counting, and
Constraint Programming (CP) for problems with clear connections to
Boolean-level
reasoning.

SAT 2024 is the first time that SAT will take place in India. There will
be co-located
schools and workshops prior to the conference. The events are being
organized by TCS
Research and Indian Institute of Technology Bombay.

Keynote Speakers

  - Martina Seidl, Johannes Kepler University, Austria
  - Cesare Tinelli, University of Iowa, USA
  - Moshe Y. Vardi, Rice University, USA

Awards

  - A "Best Paper Award" and a "Best Student Paper Award" will be
announced during the conference.
  - The "Fahiem Bacchus PhD Award in Satisfiability" will also be
announced.
This new award established by the SAT Association distinguishes one
outstanding PhD thesis
from the past two years in the field of Satisfiability, broadly
construed. The award is
named after Fahiem Bacchus who made significant contributions to the
theory and practice
of SAT as well as to the SAT community and the SAT Association.

About the venue

The venue of SAT 2024 is Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), Sahyadri Park
