....relation, with the spatial representation language RCC 8. A straightforward way to incorporate time into space would be to have a spatiotemporal interpretation for the regions in space. Objects and events in space can be considered as space time volumes. Starting with [52] there are authors ([48, 9] and more recently [32, 36, 57] who consider whole space time histories. Clarke s [14] intended interpretation of his region based calculus is spatio temporal. Recently Muller [45] has proposed a mereo topological spatio temporal theory based on space time as a primitive. Interactions in space ....

....to each other) 2. The choice of extended objects (or regions) vs. points as spatial primitives and the corresponding choice for time (not always in accordance when combined) 3. Considering relative or absolute motion, independently of the choice made about space. Among others: 36] 6] [33] and more recently [19, 43] Most of the references here emerge from linguistics, AI, or formal ontology, withoutaiming at any completeness. We focused on representational issues, thus ignoring most of the discussion in philosophy and psychology about the perception of motion, for instance, ....

....and that syntactico semantic repetitions are necessary for this learning to take place. Imagine someone being told John runs in front of the scene of someone running. Even if the learner correctly infers that what he was told really meant someone runs (this is the Gavaga problem , introduced in [Quine 60] also see 29 [Pinker 94] chapter 5) and that this meaning is expressed by a predicate denoting the running action and a proper name denoting the subject of this action, he has absolutely no way of inferring which of the words he heard was the predicate and which one was the name. This ....

....back into popular slang. It seems that perdurantism is quite wide spread in the faculties of philosophy. For once agreeing with Lewis ( 61] p. 203) Armstrong is convinced that temporal parts are the best explanation for persistence ( 6] pp. 99 103) Perdurantism has been advocated by Quine ([93], p. 171; 95] pp. 65 66) devotedly followed by Heller ( 46] chap. 1; 47] who both claim that each filled region of Minkowski spacetime constitutes a substance, and most recently by Sider ( 101] pp. 1 10, pp. 188 208) and Hawley ( 45] chap. 2) who both prefer to regard only stages, that ....

....and preservation of a system across generations can be studied. This paper builds further on these various research results focusing more specifically on two issues: 1] The Gavagai problem. In Word and object, Quine raises the question how a linguist might acquire a language of a foreign tribe [9], p. 29. He points out that if a native says Gavagai , while pointing to a rabbit scurrying by, it is in no way possible to uniquely determine its meaning. Gavagai could mean rabbit , animal , white , as well as hundreds of other things. So, how can one ever acquire the meaning of a word In ....

....the speaker wants to get a particular action be carried out. Moreover the meaning of ball is not abstract at all, i.e. something of the sort spherical shaped physical object of a uniform colour , but is very context dependent, particularly in the first stages. This point has also been made by Quine [Quine, 1960] who has argued that basic notions such as object hood only gradually arise. Children do not start with the pre given clean abstract categories that adults appear to employ. 1.1 Robots as models This paper examines the hypothesis that communication is bootstrapped in a social learning process ....

....the image perceived by the camera. We had already encountered similar problems during the Talking Heads experiment where the two robots had to point to indicate the meaning they were naming (we call this problem the Gavagai problem in reference to the thought experiment described by the linguist Quine (Quine (1960)) Driven by its own autonomous behavior, the robot may have completely dioeerent goals which are in conAEict with the aim of showing interest in the objects the teacher is presenting. As a consequence, it is sometimes very diOEcult to have it learn the word for some objects. We have currently ....
