******************************************************************************** QBFEVAL'20 - Competitive Evaluation of QBF Solvers A joint event with the 23rd Int. Conference on Theory and Applications of Satisfiability Testing (SAT) Alghero, Italy, July 5 - 9 2020 ******************************************************************************** QBFEVAL'20 is the 2020 competitive evaluation of QBF solvers, and the fifteenth event aimed to assess the performance of QBF solvers. QBFEVAL'20 awards solvers that stand out as being particularly effective on specific categories of QBF instances. We warmly encourage developers of QBF solvers to submit their work, even at early stages of development, as long as it fulfills some very simple requirements. We also welcome the submission of QBF formulas to be used for the evaluation. Researchers thinking about using QBF-based techniques in their area (e.g., formal verification, planning, knowledge representation & reasoning) are invited to contribute to the evaluation by submitting QBF instances of their research problems (see the requirements for instances). The results of the evaluation will be a good indicator of the current feasibility of QBF-based approaches and a stimulus for people working on QBF solvers to further enhance their tools. For questions, comments and any other issue regarding QBFEVAL'20, please get in touch with the organizers via qbfeval@qbflib.org. Details about solvers and benchmarks submission, tracks, and related rules, are available at http://www.qbflib.org/qbfeval20.php *Important Dates* Registration open: February 26, 2020 Registration deadline: April 19, 2020 Solvers and Benchmarks due: April 26, 2020 First stage results: May 3, 2020 Second stage solvers due: May 17, 2020 Competition Benchmarks available for download: July 1, 2020 Final results: presented at SAT'20 *Organization* Luca Pulina, University of Sassari Martina Seidl, Johannes Kepler Universitat Linz Ankit Shukla, Johannes Kepler Universitat Linz -- [LOGIC] mailing list http://www.dvmlg.de/mailingliste.html Archive: http://www.illc.uva.nl/LogicList/ provided by a collaboration of the DVMLG, the Maths Departments in Bonn and Hamburg, and the ILLC at the Universiteit van Amsterdam
