              http://www.lsv.ens-cachan.fr/M4M5
          Ecole Normale Superieure de Cachan, France
                   November 29-30, 2007
====================================================================

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.

More information about the previous editions and the M4M5 program
can be found on

The workshop will take place in Ecole Normale Supérieure de Cachan
(ENS de Cachan). ENS de Cachan is a prestigious public institution of
research and higher education, founded in 1912. It is one of the French
"Grandes Ecoles" which are considered to be the pinnacle of French
higher education.

Access to/from central Paris is easy and takes 30 minutes by RER
train (line B).

Dates of the Workshop: November 29-30, 2007
