    FINAL CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

    METHODS FOR MODALITIES 2 (M4M-2)

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

    DEADLINE: October 12, 2001

    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.

    SUBMISSIONS
    We invite three kinds of submissions:

      A. Research papers on proof tools and reasoning methods for modal logic as
         well as their applications. Submissions in this category need not be
         unpublished work; they can be up to 10 A4 size pages.
      B. System descriptions can be up to 4 A4 size pages, they should focus on
         actual implementations explaining system architecture issues and
         specific implementation techniques. Every system description should be
         accompanied by a system demo at M4M.
      C. Application descriptions can be up to 6 A4 size pages, they should
         focus on experieces of using modal-like languages to solve specific
         real-world tasks. A description of the problem should be given,
         together with an explanation of how modal like inference systems were
         used to tackle/analyse it. If available, demos of the final
         product/solution can be organized during M4M.

    The primary means of submission will be electronic, in PostScript or PDF
    format. Submissions should be sent to m4m@science.uva.nl.

    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 program committee for M4M consists of
      Carlos Areces, ILLC, The Netherlands (co-chair),
      Stephane Demri, LSV, ENS de Cachan and Lab. LEIBNIZ, France,
