The certified categories (TRS-CFP and CTRS-CFP) are terminated. Instead, tools together with certifiers can participate in any other category. A tentative list of categories for 2023 is available. Requests for new categories have to be made by email to the CoCo SC before April 1, 2023.

Problem Submission

Problems submitted by July 10, 2023 (via the COPS web interface) will be considered for CoCo 2023. In addition, secret problems, which will be selected for the competition, are accepted until August 3, 2023. Details will be announced later.

Tool Registration

Tool registration is done through EasyChair. Please enter the tool name in the title field, the tool contributors as authors, and the participating categories (choose from COM, CSR, CTRS, GCR, HRS, INF, NFP, SRS, TRS, UNC, UNR) as well as a link to the website of the tool in the abstract field. The strict deadline for tool registration is July 16, 2023.

Tool Description

Tool authors are invited to submit a one-page system description. System descriptions will be included in the proceedings of IWC 2023 and typically highlight the distinctive features of the tool. Please submit a single latex file in EasyChair latex style. The strict deadline for tool description is July 22, 2023.

Tool Submission

CoCo 2023 will run live on StarExec and so tools must be able to run on it. Submission instructions are available. Please contact the CoCo SC in case of installation problems. Tools will have 60 seconds access to a single node of StarExec for each problem. After the submission deadline, tools will be tested on a few sample problems. After the competition, binaries of participating tools will be made accessible to the community via the CoCoWeb platform.

Panel

CoCo 2023 is overseen by a panel of knowledgeable experts who are not participating in the competition:
