SAT     Int'l Conference on Theory and Applications of
         Satisfiability Testing (Aug 12-15)

The six major conferences will be accompanied by 41 workshops, held on Aug.
10-11, 15-16, and 21-22.

The FLoC'06 program includes a keynote session to commemorate the Goedel
Centenary, with John Dawson and Dana Scott as speakers, a keynote talk by
David Harel, plenary talks by Randy Bryant and David Dill, and invited talks
by F. Bacchus, A. Blass, B. Buchberger, A. Darwiche, M. Das, J. Esparza, J.
Giesl, A. Gordon, T. Hoare, O. Kupferman, M. Lam, D. Miller, K. Sakallah, J.
Stoy, and C. Welty.

FLoC has received an NSF grant to provide funds for travel grants of up to
$750 for student attendees of FLoC'06. We expect to award about 50 grants.
See application information on the website.

Seattle, the Emerald city, sits on the shores of Puget Sound surrounded by
mountains to the east and west.  Lovely views of blue waters and snow capped
peaks seem to appear everywhere - around the next bend in the road or
between the buildings downtown. Seattle is the gateway to the Pacific
Northwest, a premier tourist attraction. In Seattle, Mt. Rainier enchants
visitors; in Vancouver, British Columbia, the Coast Range juts out over
downtown; and in Portland, 5,000 acres of forestland north of the city
center harbor deer, elk, and the odd bear and cougar.

Online registration for FLoC is now open at:

Deadline for preferred hotel rate is July 21, 2006.
Deadline for early registration is July 10, 2006.
