Both structural and behavioral aspects need to be modeled in some spatio-temporal databases. There existing initial efforts to represent behavioral aspects of the spatio-temporal applications via events gave their priority to some local or partial behaviors rather than an overview of the system’s behavior. In this paper, an event-based approach is proposed for modeling the system’s behavior of ...

Temporal modeling holds great promise for healthcare, where treatment decisions must be made over time, and where continually re-evaluating ongoing treatment is critical to optimizing clinical care for individual patients. Tremendous advances have been made in data mining and temporal modeling of healthcare data, but practical challenges exist in moving these advances from the laboratory/theore...
