Abstract

After a break of about five years, in 2016 the classical QBFEVAL has been revived. QBFEVAL is a competitive evaluation of solvers for quantified Boolean formulas (QBF), the extension of propositional formulas with existential and universal quantifiers over the propositional variables. Due to the enormous interest in QBFEVAL'16, more recently, QBFEVAL'17 was organized. Both competitions were affiliated to the respective editions of the International Conference on Theory and Applications of Satisfiability Testing (SAT'16 and SAT'17), the major conference in research on SAT and related areas. In this paper we report about the 2016 and 2017 competitive evaluations of QBF solvers (QBFEVAL'16 and QBFEVAL'17), the two most recent events in a series of competitions established with the aim of assessing the advancements in reasoning about QBFs. This report gives an overview of the setup of these two events, on their participants and on the results of the experiments that were performed for evaluating the participating systems.
