Qualitative reasoning about space and time - a reasoning at the
human level - promises to become a fundamental aspect of future
systems that will accompany us in daily activity. The aim of
Spatial and Temporal Reasoning is to give a picture of current
research in this area focusing on both representational and
computational issues. The picture emphasizes some major lines of
development in this multifaceted, constantly growing area. The
material in the book also shows some common ground and a novel
combination of spatial and temporal aspects of qualitative
reasoning. Part I presents the overall scene. The chapter by Laure
Vieu is on the state of the art in spatial representation and
reasoning, and that by Alfonso Gerevini gives a similar survey on
research in temporal reasoning. The specific contributions to these
areas are then grouped in the two main parts. In Part II, Roberto
Casati and Achille Varzi examine the ontological status of spatial
entities; Anthony Cohn, Brandon Bennett, John Gooday, and Nicholas
Gotts present a detailed theory of reasoning with qualitative
relations about regions; Andrew Frank discusses the spatial needs
of geographical information systems; and Annette Herskovits focuses
on the linguistic expression of spatial relations. In Part III,
James Allen and George Ferguson describe an interval temporal logic
for the representation of actions and events; Drew McDermott
presents an efficient way of predicting the outcome of plan
execution; and Erik Sandewall introduces a semantics based on
transitions for assessing theories of action and change. In Part
IV, Antony Galton's chapter stands clearly between the two areas of
space and time and outlines the main coordinates of an integrated
approach.
