Abstract

Public announcement logic is an extension of multi-agent epistemic logic with dynamic operators to model the informational consequences of announcements to the entire group of agents. We propose a labelled tableau-calculus for this logic. We also present an extension of the calculus for a logic of arbitrary announcements.
