Reasoning about one's personal schedule of appointments is a common but surprisingly complex activity. Motivated by the novel application of planning and temporal reasoning techniques to this problem, we have extended the formalization of the temporal distance model of Dechter, Meiri, and Pearl. We have developed methods for using dates as reference intervals and for meeting the challenge of re...

This paper describes an approach to temporal pattern mining using the concept of user defined temporal prototypes to define the nature of the trends of interests. The temporal patterns are defined in terms of sequences of support values associated with identified frequent patterns. The prototypes are defined mathematically so that they can be mapped onto the temporal patterns. The focus for the...

Introduction: Tinnitus is a perception of sound without external source. For complete assessment of tinnitus, central auditory processing abilities should be considered in addition to the routine psychological evaluation of tinnitus characteristics. Temporal processing is one of the important auditory skills that are necessary for complex higher level auditory processing.   Materials and Method...

With the increasing complexity and wide diversity of spatiotemporal applications, the query processing requirements over spatiotemporal data go beyond the traditional query types, e.g., range, kNN, and aggregation queries along with their variants. Most applications require support for evaluating powerful spatio-temporal pattern queries (STPQs) that form higher-order correlations and compositio...

We introduce Oikos adtl, a speciication language for distributed systems based on asynchronous communication via remote writings. The language is designed to support the composition of speciica-tions. It allows expressing the global properties of a system in terms of the local properties of the components and of coordination patterns. Oikos adtl is based on an asynchronous, distributed, tempora...

Motor neuron activity is coordinated by premotor networks into a functional motor pattern by complex patterns of synaptic drive. These patterns combine both the temporal pattern of spikes of the premotor network and the profiles of synaptic strengths (i.e., conductances). Given the complexity of premotor networks in vertebrates, it has been difficult to ascertain the relative contributions of t...

Four experiments assessed pitch and temporal contributions to phrase judgments made on excerpts from classical music. In Experiment 1, pitch-condition trials retained the original pitch pattern but were equitemporal, temporal-condition trials retained the original temporal pattern but were equitonal, and combined-condition trials contained both patterns. In Experiment 2, one pattern was shifted...
