April 23 meeting

Speaker: Yoram Moses. Israel Institute of Technology (on sabbatical at Stanford)
TitleOn Time, Communication and Coordination
Abstract:
Recent work has shown that applications of the modal logic of knowledge allow a characterization of the interaction between communication and coordination in systems with clocks and timing information. This talk will survey some of these results and the underlying notions and techniques. Time permitting, some issues related to the interaction between time and causality will be discussed. The focus of the talk will be on the interface between logic (or semantic notions) and application, rather than on the properties of the logic itself.
