A Qualitative Model for Temporal Reasoning with Incomplete Information
نویسنده
چکیده
We clevelop a qualitative framework for temporal reasoning with incomplete information that features a modeling language based on rules and a semantics based on infinitesimal probabilities. The framework relates logical and probabilistical models, and accommodates in a natural way features that, have been found problematic in other models like nondeterminism, action qualifications, parallel actions, and abduction to actions and fluents.

A Multi - agent Based Architecture to Qualitative Temporal Constraint Reasoning
Qualitative Reasoning (Q.R) is an inferring technique using a qualitative model to derive new qualitative knowledge. It’s closer to human reasoning and offers the advantage to coping with incomplete information and allows to predict the studied system’s behaviour. So, the main benefit of Q.R is that it is possible to provide an approximate solution to a given real world problem when all detaile...

In the last two decades, product recovery systems have received increasing attention due to several reasons such as new governmental regulations and economic advantages. One of the most important activities of these systems is to assign returned products to suitable reverse manufacturing alternatives. Uncertainty of returned products in terms of quantity, quality, and time complicates the decis...
متن کاملA Framework for Applying Qualitative Spatial and Temporal Reasoning
Many application domains make extensive use of spatial and temporal information. However, the numerical approaches employed by most software tools have limitations, particularly when information is vague or incomplete. To address this, alternative qualitative spatial and temporal reasoning (QSTR) methods have been developed, yet few applications have made significant use of these techniques. In...
متن کاملTemporal Reasoning without Transitive Tables
Representing and reasoning about qualitative temporal information is an essential part of many artificial intelligence tasks. Lots of models have been proposed in the litterature for representing such temporal information. All derive from a point-based or an interval-based framework. One fundamental reasoning task that arises in applications of these frameworks is given by the following scheme:...

Spatial Cognition is an interdisciplinary research area that among other things serves as a testbed for numerous approaches to knowledge representation and for results from artificial intelligence, cognitive psychology, soft computing, geography, biological cybernetics, and robotics. Spatial and temporal granularity are of particular relevance in spatial cognition for at least two different rea...
