Temporal constraint networks

TLDR
It is shown that the STP, which subsumes the major part of Vilain and Kautz's point algebra, can be solved in polynomial time and the applicability of path consistency algorithms as preprocessing of temporal problems is studied, to demonstrate their termination and bound their complexities.

VHPOP: Versatile Heuristic Partial Order Planner

TL;DR: VHPOP is a partial order causal link (POCL) planner loosely based on UCPOP that draws from the experience gained in the early to mid 1990's on flaw selection strategies, and combines this with more recent developments in the field of domain independent planning.

When is temporal planning really temporal

TL;DR: A complete state-space temporal planning algorithm is designed, which the authors hope will be able to achieve high performance by leveraging the heuristics that power decision epoch planners.

Introduction to Constraint Databases

TL;DR: This book reveals how constraint databases bring together techniques from a variety of fields, such as logic and model thoery, algebraic and computational geometry, and symbolic computation, to the design and analysis of data models and query languages.

VHPOP: versatile heuristic partial order planner

TL;DR: VHPOP as mentioned in this paper is a partial order causal link (POCL) planner loosely based on UCPOP, which combines the experience gained in the early to mid 1990's on flaw selection strategies for POCL planning, and combines this with recent developments in the field of domain independent planning such as distance based heuristics and reachability analysis.

Maintaining knowledge about temporal intervals

James F. Allen
- 01 Mar 1991 - 
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.

Consistency in Networks of Relations

TL;DR: The primary aim is to provide an accessible, unified framework, within which to present the algorithms including a new path consistency algorithm, to discuss their relationships and the may applications, both realized and potential of network consistency algorithms.
