In geographic information science, a plethora of different approaches and methods is used
to assess the similarity of movement. Some of these approaches term two moving objects …

Starting with an updated description of Allen's calculus, the book proceeds with a description
of the main qualitative calculi which have been developed over the last two decades. It …

Interpreting Motion presents an integrated perspective on how language structures constrain
concepts of motion and how the world shapes the way motion is linguistically expressed …

Continuously moving objects are prevalent in many domains. Although there have been
attempts to combine both spatial and temporal relationships from a reasoning, a database …

In this paper, we discuss the strategies that languages employ to express motion, focusing
on the distinction between path predicates, such as enter, arrive, and leave and manner-of …

The analysis and understanding of human-robot joint spatial behaviour (JSB)-such as
guiding, approaching, departing, or coordinating movements in narrow spaces-and its …

Qualitative formalisms suited to express qualitative temporal or spatial relationships
between entities, have gained wide acceptance as a useful way of abstracting from the real …

In this paper we propose a probabilistic sequential model of Human-Robot Spatial
Interaction (HRSI) using a well-established Qualitative Trajectory Calculus (QTC) to encode …
