: The formalizations of periods of time inside a linear model of Time are usually based on the notion of intervals, that may contain or may not their endpoints. This is not enough ...
The efficient management of interval data represents a core requirement for many temporal and spatial database applications. With the Relational Interval Tree (RI-tree1 ), an effi...
Allen’s interval calculus is one of the most prominent formalisms in the domain of qualitative spatial and temporal reasoning. Applications of this calculus, however, are restric...
The point algebra is a fundamental formal calculus for spatial and temporal reasoning. We present a new generalization that meets all requirements to describe dependencies on netw...
We consider the problem of characterisation of sequences of heterogeneous symbolic data that arise from a common underlying temporal pattern. The data, which are subject to impreci...
