Sixth International Workshop on Temporal Representation and Reasoning

Michael J. Almeida, University of Maryland Eastern Shore
In this paper, we describe a new system of relations for reasoning about general, i.e., both convex and nonconvex, intervals of time. This system is essentially an integration of Allen's theory [1,2] and a one-dimensional version of the Region Connection Calculus [6,9] of Randall, Cui and Cohn. When dealing solely with convex intervals, this system reduces to Allen's set of relations. Fundamental to the definition of our system is the concept of convexity with respect to an interval, an extension of the concept of convexity.
