The CADE ATP System Competition ... part of ... The 29th International Conference on Automated Deduction Rome, Italy, 1st-4th July 2023

The CADE ATP System Competition (CASC) is the annual evaluation of fully automatic, classical logic, ATP systems – the world championship for such systems. One purpose of CASC is to provide a public evaluation of the relative capabilities of ATP systems. Additionally, CASC aims to stimulate ATP research, motivate development and implementation of robust ATP systems that can be easily and usefully deployed in applications, provide an inspiring environment for personal interaction between ATP researchers, and expose ATP systems within and beyond the ATP community. CASC evaluates the performance of ATP systems in terms of the number of problems solved, the number of acceptable proofs and models produced, and the average time taken for problems solved, in the context of a bounded number of eligible problems and specified time limits.

CASC is held at each CADE and IJCAR conference - the major forums for the presentation of new research in all aspects of automated deduction. CASC-29 will be held on 3rd July 2023, during the 29th International Conference on Automated Deduction (CADE-29). The competition organizer is Geoff Sutcliffe, assisted by Martin Desharnais (SLH division). The competition is overseen by a panel of knowledgeable researchers who are not participating in the event. The panel members are Cláudia Nalon, Sophie Tourret, and Christoph Weidenbach. If you have any questions about the competition, please email the organizer.
