Abstract

We define new dynamic epistemic models with an added notion
of 'protocol' describing the current informational process,
which may reflect conversation, observation, or experiment.
This adds a new concept of 'procedural information' to
the factual and multi-agent information already handled
by dynamic epistemic logics. We show how this richer
perspective modifies existing representation results
for DEL models inside branching temporal universes, and
we give a new completeness proof for public announcement
logic with protocols, which no longer works via the
usual reduction to pure epistemic statements. Finally,
we sketch the contours of a general logic of protocols.
This is the expanded version of an earlier paper
presented at TARK 2007, which includes a new notion
of 'local' world-dependent protocols that need not
be common knowledge between all agents involved.
