Scope and Topics of Interest
Background
Determining the satisfiability of first-order formulas modulo background theories, known as the Satisfiability Modulo Theories (SMT) problem, has proved to be an enabling technology for verification, synthesis, test generation, compiler optimization, scheduling, and other areas. The success of SMT techniques depends on the development of both domain-specific decision procedures for each background theory (e.g., linear arithmetic, the theory of arrays, or the theory of bit-vectors) and combination methods that allow one to obtain more versatile SMT tools, usually leveraging Boolean satisfiability (SAT) solvers. These ingredients together make SMT techniques well-suited for use in larger automated reasoning and verification efforts.
More information about the SMT workshop series can be found on The International Workshop on Satisfiability Modulo Theories Website.
Aims and Scope
The aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers and users of SMT tools and techniques. Relevant topics include but are not limited to:
- Decision procedures and theories of interest
- Combinations of decision procedures
- Novel implementation techniques
- Benchmarks and evaluation methodologies
- Applications and case studies
- Theoretical results
Papers on pragmatic aspects of implementing and using SMT tools, as well as novel applications of SMT, are especially encouraged.
Paper submission and Proceedings
Three categories of submissions are invited:
- Extended abstracts: given the informal style of the workshop, we strongly encourage the submission of preliminary reports of work in progress. They may range in length from very short (a couple of pages) to 10 pages and they will be judged based on the expected level of interest for the SMT community. They will be included in the informal proceedings.
- Original papers: contain original research and sufficient detail to assess the merits and relevance of the submission. For papers reporting experimental results, authors are strongly encouraged to make their data available. Original papers should not exceed 12 pages (excluding references).
- Presentation-only papers: describe work recently published or submitted and will not be included in the proceedings. We see this as a way to provide additional access to important developments that SMT Workshop attendees may be unaware of. Presentation-only papers may be submitted as originally published, if published elsewhere, and should not exceed 12 pages otherwise.
Papers in all three categories will be peer-reviewed. All papers should be in standard-conforming PDF. Technical details may be included in an appendix to be read at the reviewers' discretion. Final versions should be prepared in LaTeX using the CEURART style file. The page limit does not include references. Proceedings shall be submitted to CEUR-WS.org for online publication.
To submit a paper, go to the SMT 2026 page on FLoC's HotCRP system and follow the instructions there.
