The 5th International Workshop on
Satisfiability Checking and Symbolic Computation (SC-Square 2020)

July 5th, 2020,  Paris, France
http://www.sc-square.org/CSA/workshop5.html
Affiliated with IJCAR 2020:

==== Key Dates
Submissions: Fri. 10 April 2020
Notification: Fri. 8 May 2020
Final version: Fri. 29 May 2020
Workshop: Sun. 5 July 2020

==== 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.

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


==== Submission Guidelines
Submissions should be in English, formatted in Springer LNCS style and
submitted via EasyChair using this link: 
    https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=scsquare2020

We invite three types of submissions:
+ NP: Normal papers describing research not published or submitted elsewhere
  (with a limit of 15 pages).
+ EA: Extended abstracts may be position papers, description of research
  prospects, challenges, projects, ongoing works, or applications relevant
  to SC-square (with a limit of 8 pages).
+ PO: Posters

To receive the appropriate level of peer review, please declare the category 
of your submission by prefixing the title on the EasyChair form with "NP", 
"EA" or "PO" accordingly.

For consistency, all submissions must use the LNCS style. The style files are 
here: 
    https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines

We plan to publish the post proceedings of the workshop in digital form either 
in EasyChair EPiC series or as a special issue in a journal. Authors may opt 
out of this, should they prefer to publish the material elsewhere.

People from industry and business are warmly invited to submit papers to
describe their problems, challenges, goals, and expectations for the SC-square 
community.
