Two levels of description of nonmonotonic reasoning are distinguished. For these levels semantical formalizations are given. The first level is defined semantically by the notion o...
This document describes the `Geo-Temporal' specification language GeTS. The objects which can be described and manipulated with this language are time points, crisp and fuzzy...
