Book ChapterDOI
Reasoning on Class Relations: An Overview
TL;DR: This chapter focuses on class relations that define cardinality restrictions for a certain instance relation (e.g., a topological relation) between all entities of the involved classes.
Spatio-temporal relationships in a primitive space: an attempt to simplify spatio-temporal analysis
TL;DR: Considering a higher level of relationships abstraction should reduce spatio-temporal analysis complexity, however, such generalised model should preserve enough spatiotemporal signification.
DissertationDOI
Data-driven approach to holistic situational awareness in construction site safety management
TL;DR: The overarching goal of this research is to minimize the risk of struck-by accidents on construction jobsite by enhancing the holistic situational awareness of the unstructured and dynamic construction environment through a novel data-driven approach.
Journal Article
A Provably Efficient Computational Model For Approximate Spatiotemporal Retrieval.
TL;DR: This work presents a formal mathematical framework for representing multidimensional relations at varying granularity levels, modelling relation approximation through the concept of relation convexity, and exploits the proposed framework for developing approximate spatiotemporal retrieval mechanisms.
Dissertation
Conception et réalisation d’un outil de traitement et analyse des données spatiales pour l'aide à la décision : application au secteur de la distribution
TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a framework conceptuel for the developpement d'outil similaire of the Systemes d'Information Geographique (SIG).

Book
Metaphors We Live By
George Lakoff,Mark Johnson +1 more
TL;DR: Lakoff and Johnson as mentioned in this paper suggest that these basic metaphors not only affect the way we communicate ideas, but actually structure our perceptions and understandings from the beginning, and they offer an intriguing and surprising guide to some of the most common metaphors and what they can tell us about the human mind.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metaphors We Live by
TL;DR: Lakoff and Johnson as discussed by the authors present a very attractive book for linguists to read, which is written in a direct and accessible style; while it introduces and uses a number of new terms, for the most part it is free of jargon.
Journal Article
Maintaining knowledge about temporal intervals
TL;DR: An interval-based temporal logic is introduced, together with a computationally effective reasoning algorithm based on constraint propagation, which is notable in offering a delicate balance between space and time.

The Theory of Parsing, Translation, and Compiling
Alfred V. Aho,Jeffrey D. Ullman +1 more
TL;DR: It is the hope that the algorithms and concepts presented in this book will survive the next generation of computers and programming languages, and that at least some of them will be applicable to fields other than compiler writing.
