The world's population is aging at a phenomenal rate. Certain types of cognitive decline, in
particular some forms of memory impairment, occur much more frequently in the elderly. This …

Allen's interval algebra is one of the best established formalisms for temporal reasoning.
This article provides the final step in the classification of complexity for satisfiability problems …

Temporal constraints pose a challenge for conditional planning, because it is necessary for
a conditional planner to determine whether a candidate plan will satisfy the specified …
