In this study, three measures of temporal pattern complexity were compared with regard to their perceptual validity. The first measure, based on the work of Tanguiane (1993), uses the idea that a temporal pattern can be described in terms of (elaborations of) more simple patterns, which occur simultaneously at different levels. The second measure is based on the complexity measure for finite se...

Modern technologies like RFID, GPS, and wireless networks provide means for an automated tracking of goods, containers, and transportation vehicles. Collecting data about positions and movements of different actors and objects is a prerequisite for an automated analysis of ongoing logistic processes. As extensive information about objects and their relations is available, it is possible to appl...

Understanding how the brain perceives, organizes and uses patterned information is directly related to the neurobiology of language. Given the present limitations, such knowledge at the scale of neurons, neural circuits and neural populations can only come from non-human models, focusing on shared capacities that are relevant to language processing. Here we review recent advances in the behavio...

In spatially distributed systems such as smart buildings and intelligent transportation systems, control of spatio-temporal patterns is an important issue. this paper, we consider a finite-horizon optimal pattern problem where the specified by signal logic formula over finite traces, which will be called SSTLf formula. We give syntax Boolean semantics SSTLf. Then, show linear encodings temporal...

This paper introduces a novel type of query, what we name Spatio-temporal Pattern Queries (STP). Such a query specifies a spatio-temporal pattern as a sequence of distinct spatial predicates where the predicate temporal ordering (exact or relative) matters. STP queries can use various types of spatial predicates (range search, nearest neighbor, etc.) where each such predicate is associated (1) ...
