Qualitative Temporal Behavior Description and Temporal Diagnosis Using Interval Algebra
نویسندگان
چکیده
As noticed in some recent work, describing and diagnosing temporal behavior and faults is an important, but complex task. In this paper we discuss a new approach based on a subset of Allen's interval algebra, which extends previous work by allowing both the representation of qualitative temporal behavior (including symptoms over time) and the diagnosis of these systems.

Model - Based Diagnosis with Qualitative Temporal
In this paper we describe a framework for model-based diagnosis of dynamic systems, which extends previous work in this eld by using and expressing temporal uncertainty in the form of qualitative interval relations a la Allen. Based on a logical framework extended by qualitative and quantitative temporal constraints we show how to describe behavioral models (both consistency-and abductive-based...

متن کاملEight Maximal Tractable Subclasses of Allen's Algebra with Metric Time
This paper combines two important directions of research in temporal reson-ing: that of nding maximal tractable subclasses of Allen's interval algebra, and that of reasoning with metric temporal information. Eight new maximal tractable subclasses of Allen's interval algebra are presented, some of them subsuming previously reported tractable algebras. The algebras allow for metric temporal const...
متن کاملProcessing Qualitative Temporal Constraints
In this chapter we provide an overview of the main techniques for processing qualitative temporal constraints. We survey a collection of algorithms for solving fundamental reasoning problems in the context of Allen’s Interval Algebra, Vilain and Kautz’s Point Algebra, and of other tractable and intractable classes of temporal relations. These problems include determining the satisfiability of a...
