Abstract : We analyse the verication problem for synchronous, perfect recall multi-agent systems with imperfect information against a specication language that includes strategic and epistemic operators. While the verication problem is undecidable, we show that if the agents' actions are public, then verication is 2exptime-complete. To illustrate the formal framework we consider two epistemic and strategic puzzles with imperfect information and public actions: the muddy children puzzle and the classic game of battleships.
