Timelines are a formalism to model planning domains where the temporal aspects are predominant, and have been used in many real-world applications. Despite their practical success, a major limitation is the inability to model temporal uncertainty, i.e. the fact that the plan executor cannot decide the actual duration of some activities. In this paper we make two key contributions. First, we pro...

A human-in-the-loop simulation was conducted to evaluate advanced controller support tools and display enhancements in terminal airspace. Terminal-area air traffic controllers managed aircraft arriving on optimized profile descents along Area Navigation routes following runway arrival schedules using only speed clearances in the presence of forecast wind errors and other disturbances. Three suc...

Timeline generation is a summarisation task which transforms a narrative, roughly chronological input text into a set of timestamped summary sentences, each expressing an atomic historical event. We present a methodology for evaluating systems which create such timelines, based on a novel corpus consisting of 36 humancreated timelines. Our evaluation relies on deep semantic units which we call ...
