The paper is a overview of the major qualitative spatial representation and reasoning
techniques. We survey the main aspects of the representation of qualitative knowledge …

This paper surveys the work of the qualitative spatial reasoning group at the University of
Leeds. The group has developed a number of logical calculi for representing and reasoning …

Handbook of Knowledge Representation describes the essential foundations of Knowledge
Representation, which lies at the core of Artificial Intelligence (AI). The book provides an up …

A generalization of Allen's interval-based approach to temporal reasoning is presented. The
notion of 'conceptual neighborhood'of qualitative relations between events is central to the …

Publisher Summary Early attempts at qualitative spatial reasoning within the qualitative
reasoning (QR) community led to the poverty conjecture. The need for spatial …

A new approach to representing qualitative spatial knowledge and to spatial reasoning is
presented. This approach is motivated by cognitive considerations and is based on relative …

Most known methods for spatial reasoning translate a spatial problem into an analytical
formulation in order to solve it quantitatively. This paper describes a method for formal …

Abstract. Geographers use spatial reasoning extensively in large-scale spaces, ie, spaces
that cannot be seen or understood from a single point of view. Spatial reasoning …

There is no need to show the importance of arc-consistency in constraint networks. Mohr
and Henderson [9] have proposed AC-4, an algorithm with optimal worst-case time …

This paper reviews research in geographical cognition that provides part of the theoretical
foundation of geographical information science. Freestanding research streams in cognitive …
