In some temporal reasoning systems, inequations can give rise to disjunctions of inequa-tions when variable elimination is performed. Motivated by this observation, we extend previous research on temporal constraints by considering disjunctions of inequations (under the assumption that time is dense.) We present results on consistency checking, canonical forms and variable elimination for this ...
