Abstract

The last few years have seen a huge increase in the efficiency
of theorem provers for modal and modal-like logics, and together with it
the field of evaluation of these theorem provers has matured
considerably. We will see some of the strategies used to develop
automatic reasoning tools for these logics, and the role of empirical
evaluation in this process. We will also see how Dynamic Predicate
Logic (DPL) can be interpreted as a programming language, and how
programs written in that language can be easily subjected to formal
verification. Finally, we will see how automated reasoning can
actually be used as a computation engine. This work is, then, about
tools: their development, evaluation, and possible uses.

Keywords: modal logic, automated reasonoing, dynamic predicate logic
