The CADE ATP System Competition ... part of ... The 24th International Conference on Automated Deduction Lake Placid, USA, 9th - 14th June 2013

The CADE and IJCAR conferences are the major forums 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 and IJCAR conference. CASC-24 will be held on the 12th June 2013, during the 24th International Conference on Automated Deduction (CADE-24).

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

• the number of problems solved,
• 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 Armin Biere, Maria Paola Bonacina, and Christoph Weidenbach. If you have any questions about the competition, please email the organizer.
