Abstract

We propose a variant of public announcement logic for asynchronous systems. We give a syntax where sending and receiving messages are modeled by different modal operators. The natural approach to defining the semantics leads to a circular definition, but we describe two restricted cases in which we solve this problem. The first case requires the Kripke model representing the initial epistemic situation to be a finite tree, and the second one only allows announcements from the existential fragment. Finally, we provide complexity results for the model checking problem.
