Preface
This volume contains the papers presented at SAT 2011,the 14th International
Conference on Theory and Applications of Satisfiability Testing (SAT). The
conference was held during June 19–22, 2011 and was hosted by the Computer
Science and Engineering Division of the Department of Electrical Engineering
and Computer Science at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. Affiliated
with the main conference were the workshops POS (Pragmatics of SAT), SPA
(SATforPracticalApplications),CSPSAT(WorkshopontheCross-Fertilization
BetweenCSP and SAT) and INCSAT (Workshopon Incomplete Techniques for
ProvingUNSAT).Inaddition,SAT2011featuredthreesolvercompetitions:SAT

2011.
The International Conferences on Theory and Applications of Satisfiability
Testing (SAT) originated in 1996 as a series of workshops on satisfiability. By
the third meeting in 2000, the workshop had attracted a mix of theorists and
experimentalists whose common interest was the enhancement of our basic un-
derstandingofthe theoreticalunderpinningsofthe satisfiabilityproblemaswell
as the development of scalable algorithms for its solution in a wide range of ap-
plicationdomains.In2002acompetitionofSATsolverswasinauguratedtospur
further algorithmic and implementation developments, and to create an eclec-
tic collection of benchmarks. The competition expanded in subsequent years to
include pseudo-Boolean, QBF, and MAX-SAT solvers has become an integral
part of these meetings, adding an element of excitement and anticipation. The
interplay between theory and application, as well as the increased interest in
satisfiabilityfromawidercommunityofresearchers,ledtothenaturalevolution
of these initial workshops into the current conference format. The annual SAT
conference is now universally recognized as the venue for publishing the latest
advances in SAT research.
This year marked the 14th SAT meeting. SAT is now interpreted in a broad
sense to include not just propositional satisfiability, but also pseudo-Boolean
constraint solving and optimization (PB), quantified Boolean formulae (QBF),
constraint programming techniques (CP) for word-level problems and their
propositional encoding, and satisfiability modulo theories (SMT). Submissions
were solicited for original research on proof systems, proof complexity, search
algorithms, heuristics, analysis of algorithms, hard instances, randomized for-
mulae,problemencodings,industrialapplications,solvers,simplifiers,tools,case
studies and empirical results. A total of 57 submissions were received and rig-
orously reviewed by a 39-member international Technical Program Committee
(TPC), with each paper receiving at least four independent reviews. Of these
submissions, the TPC decided to accept 25 as regular papers (14 pages, 30-
minute presentation) and 10 as extended abstracts (2 pages) to be presented as
VI Preface
posters. The accepted papers were organized into eight sessions and their full
text is included in these proceedings.
The conference program also featured two invited presentations. The first,
by Ryan Williams, described prior and current work on connecting the art of
finding good satisfiability algorithms with the art of proving complexity lower
bounds. The second, by Koushik Sen, described Concolic Testing, a software
verification approach that combines concrete and symbolic testing and utilizes
the power of modern constraint solvers.
We would like to acknowledge several people for their help in organizing
the conference and associated events. For the myriad logistical arrangements
we are grateful for the superb help we received from Lauri Johnson-Rafalski.
Steve Crang did an excellent job designing the SAT poster and banners as well
as the packet of materials provided to the conference attendees. We appreciate
the tireless efforts of the workshop organizers: Daniel Le Berre and Allen Van
Gelder (POS), Carsten Sinz and Olga Tveretina (SPA), Yael Ben-Haim and
Yehuda Naveh (CSPSAT), and Gilles Audemard, Gilles Dequen, and Djamal
Habet (INCSAT). We also thank the competition organizers: Matti Jarvisalo,
DanielLeBerre,andOlivierRoussel(SATCompetition),VascoManquinhoand
Olivier Roussel (Pseudo-Boolean Competition), and Josep Argelich, Chu Min
Li,FelipMany,andJordiPlanes(Max-SATEvaluation).Last,butnotleast,we
thank the members of the TPC and the additional external reviewers for their
careful and thorough work, without which it would not have been possible for
us to put together such an outstanding conference program.
Finally, we would like to thank Microsoft Research and Microsoft Research
INRIA Joint Centre for their generous support of SAT 2011, the CSE division
ofthedepartmentofEECSattheUniversityofMichiganforprovidingexcellent
facilitiesforhostingtheconferenceandworkshops,andtheLRIoftheUniversity
of Orsay Paris-Sud 11 for hosting the conference website.
