SC-Square Workshop 2020: now online with delayed submission date

[Matthew England]

===================================================

The 5th International Workshop on Satisfiability Checking and Symbolic Computation (SC-Square 2020)

July 5th, 2020, (virtual presentations due to COVID-19)  

http://www.sc-square.org/CSA/workshop5.html

Affiliated with IJCAR 2020: https://ijcar2020.org/

===================================================

==== Key Dates

Submissions: Sun. 17 May 2020  

Notification: Sun. 7 June 2020

Final version: Fri. 19 June 2020

Workshop: Sun. 5 July 2020

==== Scope

Symbolic Computation is concerned with the efficient algorithmic determination

of exact solutions to complicated mathematical problems. Satisfiability

Checking has recently started to tackle similar problems but with different

algorithmic and technological solutions.

The two communities share many central interests, but researchers from these

two communities rarely interact.  Also, the lack of common or compatible

interfaces for tools is an obstacle to their fruitful combination.  Bridges

between the communities in the form of common platforms and road-maps are

necessary to initiate an exchange, and to support and direct their interaction.

The aim of this workshop is to provide an opportunity to discuss, share

knowledge and  experience across both communities.

The topics of interest include but are not limited to:

+ Satisfiability Checking for Symbolic Computation

+ Symbolic Computation for Satisfiability Checking

+ Applications relying on both Symbolic Computation and Satisfiability Checking

+ Combination of Symbolic Computation and Satisfiability Checking tools

+ Decision procedures and their embedding into SMT solvers and computer

  algebra systems

==== Submission Guidelines

Submissions should be in English, formatted in Springer LNCS style and

submitted via EasyChair using this link:

    https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=scsquare2020

We invite three types of submissions:

+ NP: Normal papers describing research not published or submitted elsewhere

  (with a limit of 15 pages).

+ EA: Extended abstracts may be position papers, description of research

  prospects, challenges, projects, ongoing works, or applications relevant

  to SC-square (with a limit of 8 pages).

+ PO: Posters

To receive the appropriate level of peer review, please declare the category

of your submission by prefixing the title on the EasyChair form with "NP",

"EA" or "PO" accordingly.

For consistency, all submissions must use the LNCS style. The style files are

here:

    https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines

We plan to publish the post proceedings of the workshop in digital form either

in EasyChair EPiC series or as a special issue in a journal. Authors may opt

out of this, should they prefer to publish the material elsewhere.

People from industry and business are warmly invited to submit papers to

describe their problems, challenges, goals, and expectations for the SC-square

community.
