StarExec is an NSF funded project to design, implement, and operate a cross community web-based service for the comparative evaluation of logic solvers (automated theorem provers) on benchmark problems. Most of the project budget is dedicated to acquiring and operating a medium-sized cluster of an anticipated 150 compute nodes, which will be used to run jobs submitted by users. StarExec's expected users are the members of various logic-solving subcommunities of the broader automated theorem proving community.

The StarExec 2013 workshop will bring together logic-solving community leaders, logic solver competition organizers, StarExec power users, and the StarExec project leaders, to discuss the current status of the StarExec project.

The workshop will have four sessions:
  1. A status report from the StarExec project leaders, and a demonstration of the current capabilities of the service.
  2. Use of StarExec by the attendees, so they can get a feeling of how well the implementation will meet their solver evaluation needs and provide feedback.
  3. A presentation by the StarExec project leaders on the short and medium term plans for development and use of StarExec.
  4. A discussion of a proposed web API.
