FINAL CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

METHODS FOR MODALITIES 2 (M4M-2)

Institute for Logic, Language and Computation
University of Amsterdam
November 29-30, 2001
www.science.uva.nl/~m4m

THEME
The workshop Methods for Modalities (M4M) aims to bring together
researchers interested in developing proof tools and reasoning methods for
modal logic broadly conceived, including description logic, hybrid logics,
feature logic, temporal logic, etc.

SPECIAL FEATURES
To stimulate interaction and transfer of expertise, M4M will be centered
around a number of long presentations by leading researchers; these
presentations aim to provide both the general background and inside
information in a number of key areas.  To complement these, we are inviting
submissions of short, focussed presentations aimed at highlighting new
developments and applications, and submissions of system demonstrations.
M4M-2 is the second installment of this bi-anual workshop series.

PROGRAM
The following people have agreed to give long presentations:
 * Ed Brinksma (on applications of formal methods)
 * Marta Cialdea Mayer (on quantified modal logic and tableaux methods)
 * Enrico Franconi (on tools for knowledge engineering)
 * Joe Halpern (to be announced)
 * Fabio Massacci (on testing of automated deduction systems)
 * Wolfgang Thomas (on automata theory and model checking)

In addition, there will be demonstration sessions, and short presentations
of contributed papers. The complete program is available at
