Greetings, We are pleased to announce that the following paper has been accepted to the 27th International Conference on Principles and Practice of Constraint Programming (CP'21) that will take place online, on the 25-29th of October 2021. Title and corresponding authors: "Towards better Heuristics for Solving Bounded Model Checking Problems" Anissa Kheireddine(1) and Etienne Renault(1) and Souheib Baarir(2) (1) LRDE, EPITA, Le Kremlin-BicĂȘtre, France (2) LIP6, Sorbonne UniversitĂ©, Paris, France Abstract: This paper presents a new way to improve the performance of the SAT-based bounded model checking problem by exploiting relevant information identified through the characteristics of the original problem. This led us to design a new way of building interesting heuristics based on the structure of the underlying problem. The proposed methodology is generic and can be applied for any SAT problem. This paper compares the state-of-the-art approach with two new heuristics: Structure-based and Linear Programming heuristics and show promising results.
