Highlights of the Year

Jasmin Blanchette, Mathias Fleury, and Christoph Weidenbach were invited to submit a short version of their IJCAR 2016 paper “A Verified SAT Solver Framework with Learn, Forget, Restart, and Incrementality” (which had received the Best Paper Award) to the Sister Conference Best Paper Track of IJCAI 2017 [25]. The paper was also invited to a special issue of Logical Methods in Computer Science.

The paper “A Formal Proof of the Expressiveness of Deep Learning” [22] by Jasmin Blanchette et al., presented at ITP 2017, has been invited to a special issue of the Journal of Automated Reasoning.

The paper “Decidability of the Monadic Shallow Linear First-Order Fragment with Straight Dismatching Constraints” [39] by Andreas Teucke and Christoph Weidenbach presented at CADE 26 has been invited to a special issue of the Journal of Automated Reasoning.

Two systems developed in the context of the SMArT project were submitted to the SMT competition SMT-COMP 2017. Redlog won the non-linear real arithmetic (NRA) category, and veriT+Redlog performed nicely on the quantifier-free non-linear real arithmetic (QF_NRA) category.
