5th Workshop on "Methods for Modalities" (M4M-5)
http://m4m.loria.fr/M4M5
Ecole Normale Superieure de Cachan, France
November 29-30
====================================================================
Scope
-----
The workshop ``Methods for Modalities'' (M4M) aims to bring together
researchers interested in developing algorithms, verification methods
and tools based on modal logics. Here the term ``modal logics'' is
conceived broadly, including temporal logic, description logic,
guarded fragments, conditional logic, temporal and hybrid logic, etc.
To stimulate interaction and transfer of expertise, M4M will feature a
number of invited talks by leading scientists, research presentations
aimed at highlighting new developments, and submissions of
system demonstrations.
We strongly encourage young researchers and students to submit papers and
posters, especially for experimental and prototypical software tools
which are related to modal logics.

Authors are invited to submit papers in the following three
categories.
- Regular papers up to 15 pages, describing original results,
work in progress, or future directions of research.
- System descriptions of up to 12 pages, describing new systems or
significant upgrades of existing ones.
- Presentation-only papers, describing work recently published
or submitted (no page limit). These will not be included in the
