 o dynamic logic, 
 o epistemic logic, 
 o modal logics of space, 
 o modal logic and game theory, 
 o modal logic and grammar formalisms,

 o computational aspects of modal logics, 
 o correspondence theory, duality theory, 
 o representation of time in natural language semantics, 
 o non-monotonic modal logics,
 o modal logics for agent-based systems,
 o modal logic in Computer Science and AI,
