****************************************************************** QBFEVAL'17 - Competitive Evaluation of QBF Solvers Call for Participation A joint event with SAT 2017 - The 20th International Conference on Theory and Applications of Satisfiability Testing, 28 August - 1 September, Melbourne, Australia (2017) ****************************************************************** QBFEVAL'17 will be the 2017 competitive evaluation of QBF solvers, and the twelfth evaluation of QBF solvers and instances ever. QBFEVAL'17 will award solvers that stand out as being particularly effective on specific categories of QBF instances. The evaluation will run using the computing infrastructure made available by StarExec. 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 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. Details about solvers and benchmarks submission, tracks, and related rules, are available at http://www.qbflib.org/qbfeval17.php For questions, comments and any other issue regarding QBFEVAL'17, please get in touch with qbf17@qbflib.org.
