The pith
This volume collects the invited abstracts and accepted papers for the sixteenth Advances in Modal Logic conference.
A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.
Core claim
This volume contains the abstracts of invited talks and the full papers accepted for AiML 2026, continuing the thirty-year record of the conference series in documenting modal logic research.
What carries the argument
The Advances in Modal Logic conference series, which records and shapes research across semantic, proof-theoretic, algebraic, topological, computational, philosophical, and applied perspectives on modal logic.
Load-bearing premise
The conference took place as scheduled and the listed contributions were accepted and included in the volume.
What would settle it
A check that the 2026 Amsterdam meeting never occurred or that the published volume omits the claimed abstracts and papers.
read the original abstract
Advances in Modal Logic (AiML) was founded in 1995 as an initiative devoted to presenting an up-to-date picture of research in modal logic and its many applications. It combines a conference series with volumes arising from the conferences, and has become the flagship international forum for work on all aspects of modal logic. Over the past three decades, AiML has both recorded and helped shape developments across the field, bringing together semantic, proof-theoretic, algebraic, topological, computational, philosophical, and applied perspectives on modal and related logics. Exactly thirty years after the first AiML conference, AiML 2026, the sixteenth conference in the series, is organized by the Institute of Logic, Language and Computation (ILLC) of the University of Amsterdam. The conference takes place in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, from 29 June to 3 July 2026. This volume contains abstracts of invited talks and full papers accepted for the conference. Beginning with AiML 2026, the proceedings are published open access via Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science (EPTCS).
Editorial analysis
A structured set of objections, weighed in public.
Referee Report
Summary. The manuscript is the abstract for the proceedings volume of AiML 2026, the sixteenth conference in the Advances in Modal Logic series. It describes the founding of AiML in 1995, its role as the flagship forum for modal logic research across semantic, proof-theoretic, algebraic, and applied perspectives, the organization of the 2026 event by ILLC at the University of Amsterdam from 29 June to 3 July 2026, and states that the volume contains abstracts of invited talks and full papers accepted for the conference, with proceedings published open access via EPTCS beginning with this edition.
Significance. As a purely descriptive announcement of a conference proceedings volume with no technical theorems, derivations, or empirical results, the manuscript has limited scientific significance beyond providing factual information about the event and publication venue. Its value lies in documenting the continuity of the AiML series and the shift to open-access publication.
minor comments (1)
- The abstract is internally consistent and factually descriptive with no load-bearing claims that require verification from the text alone.
Simulated Author's Rebuttal
We thank the referee for the positive recommendation to accept the manuscript.
Circularity Check
No significant circularity
full rationale
The document is a descriptive announcement of a conference proceedings volume. It states historical facts about AiML, the organization of AiML 2026, and that the volume contains accepted abstracts and papers. There are no equations, derivations, predictions, fitted parameters, or technical claims. No load-bearing steps exist that could reduce to inputs by construction or via self-citation chains. This is a purely factual description with no internal derivation chain to analyze.
