Citing SMT-LIB
To cite SMT-LIB as a whole the best would be to use something like the following:Clark Barrett, Pascal Fontaine, and Cesare Tinelli. The Satisfiability Modulo Theories Library (SMT-LIB), www.SMT-LIB.org. 2016. [BibTeX entry]
To cite a publication on the the SMT-LIB format specifically, please use:Clark Barrett, Aaron Stump, and Cesare Tinelli. The SMT-LIB Standard - Version 2.0. Proceedings of the 8th International Workshop on Satisfiability Modulo Theories (Edinburgh, England), 2010. [BibTeX entry]
Major Players
The SMT-LIB initiative was created by Silvio Ranise and Cesare Tinelli in 2002, after a proposal made at FroCoS 2002 by Alessandro Armando.
The initiative is currently co-ordinated by Clark Barrett, Pascal Fontaine, and Cesare Tinelli. Previous coordinators include Silvio Ranise and Aaron Stump.
Benchmarks
The SMT-LIB benchmark collection is co-managed by
Clark Barrett,
Pascal Fontaine,
Aina Niemetz,
Mathias Preiner, and
Hans-Jörg Schurr.
Previous benchmark managers include
Leonardo de Moura,
and
Christoph Wintersteiger.
Since 2022, new benchmarks are checked for compliance with the Dolmen tool developed by
Guillaume Bury.
The collection is currently hosted on a GitLab server at the University of Iowa.
The server was initially set up and populated by Alain Mebsout.
Until 2013, the benchmark collection was co-managed by
Clark Barrett and Morgan Deters.
The querying and browsing interface for that, now discontinued, collection was developed and maintained by Morgan Deters.
An official copy of the benchmarks is also available on the StarExec solver execution service.
SMT-COMP
A great impulse to the growth of the benchmark collection and to SMT-LIB as a whole has been given by the affiliated solver competition SMT-COMP. Past and present organizers of SMT-COMP include Haniel Barbosa, Clark Barrett, Roberto Bruttomesso, David Cok, Sylvain Conchon, David Deharbe, Morgan Deters, Alberto Griggio, Liana Hadarean, Matthias Heizmann, Jochen Hoenicke, Antti Hyvarinen, Leonardo de Moura, Aina Niemetz, Albert Oliveras, Giles Reger, Aaron Stump, and Tjark Weber.
