*** Overview ***

Quantifiers play an important role in language extensions of many logics. 
The use of quantifiers often allows for a more succinct encoding as it 
would be possible without quantifiers. However, the introduction of 
quantifiers affects the complexity of the extended formalism in general. 
In consequence, theoretical results established for the quantifier-free 
formalism may not directly be transferred to the quantified case. Further, 
techniques successfully implemented in reasoning tools for quantifier-free 
formulas cannot directly be lifted to a quantified version. 

The goal of the Workshop on Quantification (QUANTIFY 2024) is 
to bring together researchers who investigate the impact of 
quantification from a theoretical as well as from a practical 
point of view. Quantification is a topic in different research 
areas, e.g., in SAT in terms of QBF, in CSP in terms of QCSP, 
in SMT, ATP, Computer Algebra, etc. 

This workshop has the aim to provide an interdisciplinary forum 
where researchers of various fields may exchange their experiences.

In particular, the following topics shall be considered at the workshop:

* Theoretical aspects of quantification.
* Practical aspects of quantification.
* Intersections between the different research communities 
  working on quantification.

*** Submission ***

Submissions of extended abstracts, full papers, and tutorials are solicited 
and will be managed via Easychair: 


https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=quantify24

Submitted papers should be formatted in LNCS format.

We solicit three types of submissions:

* Talk abstracts (maximum two pages, excluding references) 
  describing already published results.
* Full papers (maximum 15 pages, excluding references) on novel, 
  unpublished work.
* Tutorial papers (maximum 15 pages, excluding references) 
  introducing a research field related to quantifiers.  

The talk abstracts should include a relevant bibliography of related work 
and an outline of the planned talk. For this category, we explicitly advocate 
talks which summarize the results of one or more already published papers. 

Full papers should contain novel, unpublished work that qualifies to be 
published in a special issue of a journal or formal workshop proceedings. 

Tutorial papers shoul survey results already published, maybe in multiple 
articles or presentations capturing the commonalities and differences 
of various quantification approaches (perhaps even interdisciplinary).

Each submission will be assessed by the program committee and the workshop 
organizers with respect to novelty, originality, and scope.

Submissions related to completed work as well as work in progress are 
welcome. 
Authors are encouraged to provide additional material such as source code of 
tools, experimental data, benchmarks and related publications in an appendix 
or a related webpage. The additional material will be considered at the 
discretion of the reviewers.

Previously published work or extensions thereof may be submitted to the 
workshop but that case has to be explicitly stated in the submitted paper. 
This regulation also applies to work which is currently under review 
elsewhere.


Authors of accepted abstracts and papers are expected to give a talk 
at the workshop.


*** Plans for Publications ***

The outcomes of the discussions will be summarized in a workshop report, 
which can be made publicly available as technical report (unless the
participants decide not to do so). 

In case we get enough full and tutorial papers, we will organize a 
special issue on quantificaton (e.g., in the Journal of Satisfiablity (JSAT) 
or formal workshop proceedings.
