The CADE ATP System Competition ... part of ... The 23rd International Conference on Automated Deduction Wroclaw, Poland, 31st July - 5th August 2011

The CADE conferences are the major forum for the presentation of new research in all aspects of automated deduction. In order to stimulate ATP research and system development, and to expose ATP systems within and beyond the ATP community, the CADE ATP System Competition (CASC) is held at each CADE conference. CASC-23 will be held during the 23rd International Conference on Automated Deduction (CADE-23) on 3rd August 2011.

CASC evaluates the performance of sound, fully automatic, classical 1st order ATP systems. The evaluation is in terms of:

• the number of problems solved, and
• the number of problems solved with a solution output, and
• the average runtime for problems solved;

• a bounded number of eligible problems, chosen from the TPTP Problem Library, and
• specified time limits on solution attempts.

The competition organizer is Geoff Sutcliffe. The competition is overseen by a panel of knowledgeable researchers who are not participating in the event. The panel members are Franz Baader, Koen Claessen, and Christoph Weidenbach. If you have any questions about the competition, please email the organizer.

  • The time limit was 300s per problem in the non-LTB divisions.
    The time limit was 60s per problem in the LTB CYC, ISA, and SMO categories. The time limit was 30s, 60s, 90s, 120s in the batches of the LTB MZR category.
