Decisions taken by agents in distributed and multi-agent systems depend on their local information. A novel formulation of the connection between knowledge and action in such systems allows new insights into the design of correct and efficient protocols. This talk will discuss and illustrate how a theory of what agents know about the world and about the knowledge of others can help in the design and analysis of distributed protocols for well-known problems. The talk will be self-contained, and is based in part on joint work with Armando Castaneda and Yannai Gonczarowski.
