About the conference

SAT 2024 is the 27th edition of the International Conference on Theory and Applications of
Satisfiability Testing (SAT).  The scope of SAT 2024 includes all aspects of the theory
and applications of propositional satisfiability, broadly construed. This also includes
Boolean optimization, such as MaxSAT and Pseudo-Boolean (PB) constraints, Quantified
Boolean Formulas (QBF), Satisfiability Modulo Theories (SMT), Model Counting, and
Constraint Programming (CP) for problems with clear connections to Boolean-level
reasoning.

SAT 2024 is the first time that SAT will take place in India. There will be co-located
schools and workshops prior to the conference. The events are being organized by TCS
Research and Indian Institute of Technology Bombay.

Keynote Speakers

  - Martina Seidl, Johannes Kepler University, Austria
  - Cesare Tinelli, University of Iowa, USA
  - Moshe Y. Vardi, Rice University, USA

Awards

  - A "Best Paper Award" and a "Best Student Paper Award" will be
announced during the conference.
  - The "Fahiem Bacchus PhD Award in Satisfiability" will also be announced.
This new award established by the SAT Association distinguishes one outstanding PhD thesis
from the past two years in the field of Satisfiability, broadly construed. The award is
named after Fahiem Bacchus who made significant contributions to the theory and practice
of SAT as well as to the SAT community and the SAT Association.

About the venue

The venue of SAT 2024 is Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), Sahyadri Park - 2, Hinjewadi,
Pune. Surrounded by the rolling hills of the Sahyadri ranges on three sides, this campus
is a scenic and well-equipped setting for hosting SAT 2024. The campus has shared
conference rooms, breakout areas, training rooms and a 500-seater multi-purpose
auditorium.

Pune is the second largest city after Mumbai (erstwhile Bombay) in the state of
Maharashtra in western India. It is well-known for its salubrious climate, rich culture, a
vibrant theatre and classical music scene, and its automotive and information technology
industries. The city of Mumbai, with its associated tourist attractions, is a 3-hour
pleasant drive from Pune.
