Applications of smart environments are ever-increasing due to their possibilities of
contributing towards an independent and active lifestyle for different user groups. An …

A Qualitative Constraint Network (QCN) is a constraint graph representing problems under
qualitative temporal or spatial relations. More formally, a QCN includes a set of entities and a …

In this chapter, we discuss two research areas related to qualitative reasoning: firstly,
qualitative reasoning about dynamical systems, or qualitative physics, that aims at providing …

Relying on the recently introduced multi-algebras, we present a general approach for
reasoning about temporal sequences of qualitative information that is generally more …

Nous étudions le problème de la décision de la cohérence de réseaux de contraintes dans
le cadre de combinaisons de formalismes qualitatifs. Nous proposons un cadre formel qui …

In this paper, we focus on qualitative temporal sequences of topological information. We
firstly consider the context of topological temporal sequences of length greater than 3 …

Nous présentons une approche générale pour le raison-nement sur des séquences
temporelles d'informations quali-tatives. Cette approche, qui s' appuie sur le cadre …

We are interested in the minimality problem in the context of combinations of qualitative
constraint networks (such as temporal sequences, multiscale networks, and loose …

Abstract Representation of scientific knowledge in ontologies suffers so often from the lack of
computational knowledge required for inference. This article aims to perform quantitative …
