Abstract: We present a formalism, Disjunctive Linear Relations (DLRs), for reasoning about temporal constraints. DLRs subsume most of the formalisms for temporal constraint reasoning proposed in the literature and is therefore computationally expensive. We also present a restricted type of DLRs, Horn DLRs, which have a polynomial-time satisfiability problem. We prove that most approaches to tractable temporal constraint reasoning can be encoded as Horn DLRs, including the ORD-Horn algebra by Nebel ... (Update)

.... Some examples of these problems, including scheduling, planning, and inde nite temporal constraint databases, can be found in [26, 31, 49] (see also [10] for more information on tractable disjunctive constraints) De nition 2 Let V = fx 1 ; x n g be a set of real...

...constraints, etc. This gives rise to the need to manage nonbinary constraints. Although there are some models for non binary CSP [10] [8], we intend to show the high expressiveness provided by the Labelled TCSP model [4] which allows us to specify and reason about a great...
