Public communication in justification logic
Bryan Renne · Journal of Logic and Computation · 2010
Justification Logic is a framework for reasoning about evidence and justification in multi-agent systems. Most accounts of Justification Logic are essentially static, in that the (justified) beliefs of agents are immutable. In this article, we add public communication, a dynamic operation of belief change studied in the area of Dynamic Epistemic Logic, to the language of Justification Logic. Introducing notions of bisimulation for the languages of Justification Logic with and without public communication, we catalogue the expressive relationships that exist between almost all of the well-known static fragments of Justification Logic and then determine whether the addition of public communication affects the various expressive relationships existing between these fragments.
