A Really Temporal Logic
We introduce a temporal logic for the speci cation of real-time systems. Our logic, TPTL, employs a novel quanti er construct for referencing time: the freeze quanti er binds a var...

An Algebraic Formulation of Temporal Knowledge for Reasoning about Recurring Events
We formulate an algebra of binary temporal relations between events the number of occurrences of which is unknown, but which are known to recur in time. Ontologically, we view the...
