ABSTRACT. Justification logics are epistemic logics that explicitly include justifications for the agents' knowledge. We develop a multi-agent justification logic with evidence terms for individual agents as well as for common knowledge. We define a Kripke-style semantics that is similar to Fitting's semantics for the Logic of Proofs LP. We show the soundness, completeness, and finite model property of our multi-agent justification logic with respect to this Kripke-style semantics. We demonstrate that our logic is a conservative extension of Yavorskaya's minimal bimodal explicit evidence logic, which is a two-agent version of LP.We discuss the relationship of our logic to the multi-agent modal logic S4 with common knowledge. Finally, we give a brief analysis of the coordinated attack problem in the newly developed language of our logic.

Abstract. Justification logic is an epistemic framework that provides a way to express explicit justifications for the agent's belief. In this paper, we present OPAL, a dynamic justification logic that includes term operators to reflect public announcements on the level of justifications. We create dynamic epistemic semantics for OPAL. We also elaborate on the relationship of dynamic justification logics to Gerbrandy-Groeneveld's PAL by providing a partial realization theorem.
