We discuss a family of modal logics for reasoning about relational structures of intervals over (usually) linear orders, with modal operators associated with the various binary relations between such intervals, known as Allen’s interval relations. The formulae of these logics are evaluated at intervals rather than points and the main effect of that semantic feature is substantially higher expre...

Smith has almost...
