We introduce basic notions related to granular computing, namely the information granule
syntax and semantics as well as the inclusion and closeness (similarity) relations of …

The study of relationships between evolving regions within GIS still needs the development
of operators that integrate the spatial and temporal dimensions. This paper introduces a new …

We discuss information granule calculi as a basis of granular computing. They are defined
by constructs like information granules, basic relations of inclusion and closeness between …

A wide range of database applications manage time-varying data. In contrast, existing
database technology provides little support for managing such data. The research area of …

Spatio-temporal data models for describing complex lifelines and trajectories of persons, as
well as events that affect their evolution, are prerequisites for the statistical analysis of their …

This paper develops a computational method for analyzing changes in polygon distributions.
Unmovable polygons that change discontinuously without explicit functional linkage …

In the geometric data model for spatio-temporal data, introduced by Chomicki and Revesz,
spatio-temporal data are modelled as a finite collection of triangles that are transformed by …

La mer côtière est le siège d'activités anthropiques multiples, parfois concurrentes,
interagissant avec l'environnement naturel. La compréhension des interactions entre ces …

Abstract We extend Temporal Annotated Constraint Logic Programming (TACLP) in order to
obtain a framework where both temporal and spatial information can be dealt with and …

The importance of incorporating time in databases has been well realized by the research
community. Accordingly, temporal databases have been extensively studied by researchers …
