Modal logics are widely used in a number of areas in computer science, in particular for the speci(cid:12)cation and veri(cid:12)cation of hardware and software systems, for knowledge representation, in databases, and in arti(cid:12)cial intelligence. The most important reason for the successful applications of these logics is that they provide a good balance between expressive power and computational complexity. In [30] Vardi adressed the question to identify the main reasons for the robust decidability properties of modal logics. In particular he stressed the importance of the tree model property, which permits the use of powerful automata-theoretic techniques. Here we discuss this question in the light of recent research on guarded fragments of (cid:12)rst-order logic and (cid:12)xed point logic
