Workshop 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.

Submissions and Participation

The workshop series has emerged from an H2020 FETOPEN CSA project "SC-Square", which ran from 2016 to 2018. It has been continued aiming at building bridges bewteen Satisfiability Checking and Symbolic Computation. It is open for submission and participation to everyone interested in the topics, whether or not they were members or associates of the original project.

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
• Quantifier elimination and decision procedures and their embedding into computer algebra software and logic provers, including  but not limited to SMT solvers

Submission Guidelines

We welcome submissions in the following categories:

• Full papers on research, case studies or tool development should present unpublished work not submitted elsewhere (with a limit of 16 pages, not counting references)
• Extended abstracts on research, case studies or tool development should present unpublished (potentially ongoing) work not submitted elsewhere (2–4 pages, not counting references)
• Presentation-only submissions on already published work, work to be published elsewhere, or work in progress on SC-Square related open problems or future challenges. Furthermore, people from other scientific disciplines and industry and business are warmly invited to attend and describe their problems, challenges, goals, and expectations for the SC-Square community. Please submit an abstract for approval by the PC (with a limit of 2 pages).
• Posters

All submissions must be in English. Full papers and extended abstracts must and use the new CEUR-ART format. All submissions should be entered to the EasyChair system before the submission deadline. Please declare the category of your submission by prefixing the title on the EasyChair form with "FULL", "ABSTRACT", "PRESENTATION", or "POSTER", respectively.

Submission implies a committment that, in case of acceptance, at least one of the authors attends and presents at the workshop.

Proceedings

We plan to publish the proceedings of the workshop as a CEUR-WS proceedings covering full papers and extended abstracts. Authors may opt out of this, should they prefer to publish the material elsewhere.

Furthermore, there will be post-proceedings in an issue of the Springer journal Mathematics in Computer Science dedicated to the workshop. Authors of all four categories are eligible for submission of a corresponding journal article. Journal versions of full papers require at least 30% new material compared to the version originally accepted. All journal submissions will be thoroughly peer-reviewed according to the standards of the journal.

Important Dates

• Submission deadline: April 1, 2023
• Notification: May 15, 2023
• Final version due: June 15, 2023
• Workshop date: July 28–29, 2023
• Submission deadline for journal post-proceedings: October 15, 2023

All deadlines are by the end of the day anywhere on earth.

Venue

The workshop will be held at The Arctic University of Norway (UiT) in Tromsø as satellite event of ISSAC 2023.

Located over 200 miles north of the Arctic Circle, Tromsø is an urban island, surrounded by beautiful nature. Life in the High North is shaped by wild nature, contrasting light and weather conditions, geographic distances and multiculturalism.

Surrounded by mountains and fjords on all sides, Tromsø is home to approximately 75,000 inhabitants, making it the second-most populated city north of the Arctic Circle. With everything a person could “need”—shopping malls, festivals, marathons, cultural venues, tourist attractions and a few movie theaters — Tromsø feels more like a small metropolitan city than a town.

UiT is the northernmost university in the world, with 18,000 students and 64 days of midnight sun.
