The ramification problem is a hard and ever present problem in systems exhibiting a dynamic behavior. The area of temporal databases in particular is still lacking satisfactory solutions to the ramification problem. In this paper, we address the problem for the concurrent execution of both instantaneous actions and actions with duration. The proposed solution advances previous work by considering actions with effects occurring in any of the possible future situations resulting from an action?s execution.
