Satisfiability Testing (SAT)

The seminar meetings take place on Mondays, from 16.40 to 18.10 (DS 6) in room E05. The initial meeting will take place on Monday 17.10.

This years seminar is all about recent research related to SAT solving.

The student has to select a topic from the ones listed below. He has to study the respective literature. The students are expected to participate in the seminar, write a short report of the assigned topic, and give a presentation in the end of the summer term. The presentation should have a length of 30 minutes, followed by a 15 minutes discussion.

German students can give the presentation also in German.

For the students who want to participate at the KRR Seminar it is mandatory to attend all talks during the term. The report (five pages) and the slides have to be send one week before the presentation to Peter Steinke.
