The elements of probabilistic time geography
Stephan Winter,Zhang-Cai Yin +1 more
TL;DR: This paper starts with the standard assumption of time geography (no further knowledge), and develops the appropriate probability distribution by three equivalent approaches.

Object-based Class Modeling for Cadastre-constrained Delineation of Geo-objects
TL;DR: In this article, an approach for delineating and monitoring aggregated spatial units relevant to regional planning tasks is presented, which has been fully validated within a 3,654 km 2 area in the Stuttgart Region of southwestern Germany.
Book
Qualitative Spatio-Temporal Representation and Reasoning: Trends and Future Directions
TL;DR: This chapter focuses on the topological and mereological relations, contact, and parthood, between spatiotemporal regions as axiomatized in so-called mereotopologies, and their underlying ontological choices and different ways of systematically looking at them.

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.
