Rough Sets in Spatio-temporal Data Mining

In this paper I define spatio-temporal regions as pairs consisting of a spatial and a temporal component and I define topological relations between them. Using the notion of rough sets I define approximations of spatio-temporal regions and relations between those approximations. Based on relations between approximated spatio-temporal regions configurations of spatio-temporal objects can be characterized even if only approximate descriptions of the objects forming them are available.
