[FOM] Logical omniscience in epistemic logics

Hi,
One of the ways to model reasoning about knowledge and belief is by using
possible-worlds semantics. But this semantics seems to suffer from the
problem of Logical Omniscience (for knowledge is equated with truth in
all the possible worlds) . A number of attempts have been made to deal
with the problem within possible-worlds framework. However, the problem
remains in some form or the other. Can we use Situation Semantics instead
of possible worlds semantics to deal with the problem?
