Event notification services are used in various applications such as digital libraries, stock tickers, traffic control, or facility management. However to our knowledge, a common semantics of events in event notification services has not been defined so far. We propose a parameterized event algebra which describes the semantics of composite events for event notification systems. The parameters ser...... hiện toàn bộ

Chúng tôi giới thiệu một logic thời gian để lý luận về các ứng dụng toàn cầu. Trước tiên, chúng tôi định nghĩa một logic mô-đun cho địa phương tính, nhúng các lý thuyết địa phương của mỗi thành phần vào một lý thuyết về các trạng thái phân tán của hệ thống. Chúng tôi cung cấp cho logic một hệ thống tiên đề đầy đủ và chuyên sâu. Sau đó, chúng tôi mở rộng logic với một toán tử thời gian. Đóng góp củ...... hiện toàn bộ

We propose a logical approach to represent and reason about different time granularities. We identify a time granularity as a discrete infinite sequence of time points properly labelled with proposition symbols marking the starting and ending points of the corresponding granules, and we intensively model sets of granularities with linear time logic formulas. Some real-world granularities are provi...... hiện toàn bộ
We evaluate a model for temporal data utilizing the benefits of object-relational database systems (ORDBS). In particular we show how attribute timestamping can be efficiently implemented in state-of-the-art ORDBS. The attribute timestamping concept is based on introducing user-specific types for temporal versions of datatypes. Moreover on the physical level we make use of user-defined index struc...... hiện toàn bộ

A growing number of industrial applications use rule-based programming. Frequently, the implementation of the inference engine embedded in these applications is based on the RETE algorithm. Some applications supervise a flow of events in which time, through the occurrence dates of the events, plays an important role. These applications need to be able to recognize patterns involving events. Howeve...... hiện toàn bộ
Many natural languages use prepositions to mark relations between entities of various kinds-between physical entities and their spatial locations, between temporal entities and their temporal locations, between abstract entities of various kinds (e.g. between ideas and their 'mental locations'). I show that the consequences of using prepositions to relate temporal entities emerge naturally from th...... hiện toàn bộ
The main key feature of temporal databases is to maintain all values taken by object attributes over time. Since historical information may be needed at different levels of detail, multigranular temporal databases have been introduced, in which different attributes can be stored at different temporal granularities. An important issue that has not been addressed, however is that the required level ...... hiện toàn bộ
Local search techniques have attracted considerable interest in the artificial intelligence (AI) community since the development of GSAT (Selman et al., 1992) and the min-conflicts heuristic (Minton et al., 1992) for solving large propositional satisfiability (SAT) problems and binary constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) respectively. Newer SAT techniques, such as the Discrete Langrangian Metho...... hiện toàn bộ
In this paper, we focus on an application and extension of artificial intelligence temporal reasoning techniques in order to represent and reason with temporal constraints in clinical guidelines. Particular attention is dedicated to the treatment of repeated (periodic) events, which play a major role in clinical therapies. We also discuss some limitations of our current approach, highlighting poss...... hiện toàn bộ
We present a method for formalising the behaviour of simple deterministic devices and protocols in a way that makes explicit the causal dependencies amongst the component elements, thereby allowing true causal (as opposed to purely temporal) reasoning. Our intention is to handle such systems effectively in the simplest possible way, without invoking additional problematic considerations (concernin...... hiện toàn bộ
