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.
We strongly encourage young researchers and students to submit papers,
also about experimental and prototypical software tools which are
related to modal logics.
Paper Submissions
------------------
Authors are invited to submit papers in the following three categories.
- Regular papers up to 15 pages, describing original 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 (with a 15 page limit). These will not be included in the
proceedings, but pre-prints or post-prints can be made available to
participants.
Papers should be prepared in ENTCS proceedings style, and should be
submitted as .pdf. Submissions should be made via EasyChair at the
following address:
