Summary

Inthe1950'sGeorgvonWrightprovidedthe?rstsurveysinepistemiclogic. Roughly 10 years later Jaakko Hintikka published his seminal work on the logic of knowledge and belief. Epistemic and doxastic logics have since then grown into mature disciplines enjoying many important applications in philosophy, computer science, gametheory, economicsandlinguistics to mention of few?elds of applications. Knowledge Contributors is based on the Dimensions in Epistemic Logic conference hosted by?LOG-The Danish Network for Philosophical Logic and Its Applications in May 2002 at Roskilde University, Denmark. The conference featured lectures by such recognized experts in epistemic logic as Joseph Y. Halpern (Cornell University, USA), Jaakko Hintikka (Boston University, USA), Wiebe van der Hoek (University of Liverpool, UK), Wolfgang Lenzen (University of Osnabruc ̈k, DE), Hans Rott (U- versity of Regensburg, DE), Krister Segerberg (Uppsala University, SE), JohnF. Sowa(USA), MosheY. Vardi(Rice University, USA) andRyszard W ́ojcicki (Polish Academy of Sciences, PL). The conference had three aims which are re?ected in the current v- ume and its organization of the contributions: (1) To track the history of epistemic logic, (2) to consider important applications of epistemic logic in a variety of?elds and (3) to discuss future directions of research in epistemic logic with particular emphasis on 'active agenthood' and mul- modal systems. The editors would like to thank the invited speakers, and their co-authors, for contributing, in the most lucid and inspiring way, to the ful?llment of the conference aims and for making their contributions available for publication.
