Combining Qualitative and Quantitative Constraints in Temporal Reasoning
This paper presents a general model for temporal reasoning that is capable of handling both qualitative and quantitative information. This model allows the representation and processing of many types of constraints discussed in the literature to date, including metric constraints (restricting the distance between time points) and qualitative, disjunctive constraints (specifying the relative pos...
متن کاملCombining Qualitative and Quantitative Temporal Reasoning for Criminal Forensics∗
The paper presents an application of temporal knowledge representation and reasoning techniques to forensic analysis, especially in answering certain investigative questions relating to time-sensitive information about a criminal or terrorist activity. A brief introduction to a temporal formalism called Point-Interval Logic is presented. A set of qualitative and quantitative temporal facts is t...
متن کاملQualitative and Quantitative Fuzzy Temporal Constraints
This paper describes a model for temporal reasoning that handles both quantitative and qualitative information affected by vagueness and uncertainty. Starting from two existing models, namely the Meiri’s system [9] and IA fuz [2, 3], the proposed approach generalizes the first to a fuzzy framework and extends the second in order to handle qualitative constraints. The system uses the Fuzzy Const...
متن کاملIncremental Tractable Reasoning about Qualitative Temporal Constraints
In many applications of temporal reasoning we are in terested in reasoning incrementally In particular, given a CSP of temporal constrains and a new constraint, we want to maintain certain properties in the extended CSP (e.g., a solution), rather than recomputing them from scratch. The Point Algebra (PA) and the Interval Algebra (IA) are two well-known frameworks for qualitative tem poral rea...
متن کاملCombining Topological and Qualitative Size Constraints for Spatial Reasoning
Information about the relative size of spatial regions is often easily accessible and, when combined with other types of spatial information , it can be practically very useful. In this paper we combine a simple framework for reasoning about qualitative size relations with the Region Connection Calculus RCC-8, a widely studied approach for qualitative spatial reasoning with topological relation...
