SAT/SMT/AR 2024: International Summer School on Satisfiability, 
Satisfiability Modulo Theories, and Automated Reasoning
https://sat-smt-ar-school.gitlab.io/www/2024/index.html
June 26-29, 2024, Nancy, France

Satisfiability (SAT), Satisfiability Modulo Theories (SMT), and Automated 
Reasoning (AR) continue to make rapid advances and find novel uses in a wide 
variety of applications, both in computer science and beyond. The SAT/SMT/AR 
Summer School aims to bring a select group of students up to speed quickly in 
this exciting research area. The school continues the successful line of 
Summer Schools that ran from 2011 to 2022.

We are pleased to announce that the next edition of the SAT/SMT/AR Summer 
School will take place in *Nancy, France from June 26 to June 29, 2024*. The 
lectures planned this year are detailed on the website and include a mix of 
basic and advanced theory as well as practical sessions.

The school is intended for PhD students, Master students, and industrial 
practitioners who want to get a good understanding of capabilities and 
current research directions in the area of SAT, SMT, and Automated Reasoning. 
Prior knowledge in those areas is not required, but knowledge of logic, 
general problem solving skills, good programming and math skills are helpful.

As the number of participants is limited, all prospective participants will 
have to apply by filling this form:

    https://sondages.inria.fr/index.php/171451?lang=en

including:

  -  a short CV (at most 3 pages, including publications, if any),
  -  a letter of motivation written by the applicant (1 page),
  -  for students, the name of a supervisor from which to ask a supporting 
email (1 paragraph).

The letter should explain the motivation for attending the Summer School. 
Based on the application letters approximately 50 participants will be chosen 
from all qualified applicants. Admitted participants will then be provided a 
link for registration. The registration cost is not yet fixed. In the worst 
case it will be 200€, but depending on pending sponsors we hope it will be 
under 100€. Students that need travel support may indicate so in the 
application form. Students that have a paper accepted at IJCAR and plan to 
attend the conference are encouraged to apply for the Woody Bledsoe award 
(https://cadeinc.org/WoodyBledsoeAward). Information on how to apply will be 
available in due time on the IJCAR 2024 webpage ( 
https://merz.gitlabpages.inria.fr/2024-ijcar/ ).

Applications to the SAT/SMT/AR Summer School close on the 10th of May. For
