Modal logics are obtained from propositional logics by adding
modalities and , meaning necessity and
possibility. Originally studied by philosophers in order to reason
about knowledge and belief, modal logics have nowadays many
applications in computer science. Well known examples are epistemic
logics, which allow to formally reason about the knowledge of
independently acting and interacting agents, temporal logics, which
allow to reason about temporal properties of processes, and
authentication logics, which are used to formally reason about
authentication protocols.
The purpose of this project is to develop a proof theory for variants
of modal logic that have applications in modern computer science but
that have been neglected by traditional proof theory so far.
