JOURNAL OF SYMBOLIC COMPUTATION

 

First Announcement of Special Issue - Satisfiability Checking and
Symbolic Computation

 

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

 

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

 

Following the success of the first two SC-Square workshops, and with the
encouragement of the Editor-in-Chief, we are soliciting papers for a
special issue of the Journal of Symbolic Computation on the theme of
Satisfiability Checking and Symbolic Computation.

 

Submission is via Easychair
(https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sc2) and the closing date for
submissions is 15 February 2018. Papers should be prepared using the
author information pack
(http://www.elsevier.com/journals/journal-of-symbolic-computation/0747-7171?
generatepdf=true). 
There is no hard page limit: papers should be complete but not
unnecessarily long.

 

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

Issue Scope

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

 

The field of Symbolic Computation, and its implementation in Computer
Algebra Systems, is concerned with the algorithmic determination of
exact solutions to mathematical problems.  More recent developments in
the field of Satisfiability Checking are starting to tackle similar
problems, through the use of Satisfiability Modulo Theory (SMT) solvers
which exploit technology built for the Boolean SAT problem to other
domains. 

The two communities now share many central interests, but until recently
there has been little interaction between them.  Further, the lack of
common or compatible interfaces is an obstacle to the fruitful
combination of tools.  Bridges between the communities in the form of
common platforms and road-maps are needed to initiate exchange and
support interaction. The aim of this special issue, along with the
SC-square H2020 FETOPEN Coordination and Support Activity project, is to
document progress, and share knowledge and experience across both
communities.

 

The issue is open for submission and participation to everyone
interested in the topics, whether they are members or associates of the
SC-square project or not, and whether or not the contribution was
discussed at the SC-square workshops.

 

We welcome extended versions of previously published workshop or
conference papers, but would expect significant new material (this is
hard to quantify, but "at least 25%" would be a good guideline).

 

The topics of interest include but are not limited to:

- Decision procedures and their embedding into SMT solvers and computer
algebra systems

- 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

- Theory and implementation of quantifier elimination techniques

 

 

The First International Workshop on Satisfiability Checking and Symbolic
Computation was held on 24th September, 2016 in Timisoara, Romania.  It
was affiliated to the 18th International Symposium on Symbolic and
Numeric Algorithms for Scientific Computing, SYNASC 2016. The
proceedings are CEUR-WS volume 1804.

 

The Second International Workshop on Satisfiability Checking and
Symbolic Computation was held on 29th July 2017 in Kaiserslautern,
Germany.  It was affiliated to the 42nd International Symposium on
Symbolic and Algebraic Computation, ISSAC 2017. The proceedings will
shortly appear in a CEUR-WS volume.
