Entrants

An entrant to SMT-COMP is an SMT solver submitted in either source code or binary format to the organizers. Binary format submissions must be compatible with the competition hardware and operating system. Due to limitations on computational resource, the organizers reserve the right not to accept more than one version (defined as sharing 50% or more of its source code) of the same solver. The organizers reserve the right to submit their own systems, or other systems of interest, to the competition. For solvers submitted in source code form, the organizers will make reasonable efforts to ensure that the source code is not viewed by anyone other than the Competition Panel (see Judging). Submitters of an SMT-COMP entrant are encouraged to be physically present at SMT-COMP, but are not required to be so to participate or win.

Each SMT-COMP entrant must include a README file explaining how to compile and install the solver. Solvers must compile using publicly available compilers on the machines to be used for the competition. The competiton is going to use Linux machines (specifications). Installation and execution of solvers must not require root access (so that the organizers do not need to request such from the conference site). The organizers will make reasonable efforts to install each system, including communication with the submitters of the system in case of difficulties. Nevertheless, the organizers reserve the right to reject an entrant if its compilation or installation process proves overly difficult.

Finally, an entrant to SMT-COMP must include a short (1-2 pages) description of the system. This should include a list of all authors of the system and their present institutional affiliations. It should list the Problem Divisions in which the entrant wishes to compete. The programming language(s) and an overview of the software architecture of the system should also be included. We also encourage system descriptions to include any crucial algorithms or data structures that are not standardly used in such systems as well as a prediction as to the likely performance of the system in SMT-COMP. System descriptions will be posted on the SMT-COMP website.
