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, INF, LCTRS, 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 June 7, 2024. Please subscribe to the CoCo mailing list to be informed about the competition.

Tool Description

Tool authors are invited to submit a one-page (excluding references of at most one additional page) system description. System descriptions will be included in the proceedings of IWC 2024 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 June 14, 2024.

Tool Submission

CoCo 2024 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.

Panel

CoCo 2024 is overseen by a panel of knowledgeable experts who are not participating in the competition:
