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.

Heterogeneous graph attention networks for scalable multi-robot scheduling with temporospatial constraints

TL;DR: This paper proposes a novel heterogeneous graph attention network model, called ScheduleNet, to learn scheduling policies that overcome the limitations of conventional approaches, and shows that the model is end-to-end trainable via imitation learning on small-scale problems, and generalizes to large, unseen problems.

Constrained resolution and abducttve temporal reasoning

TL;DR: An abductive procedure is defined and implemented, which is well adapted for temporal reasoning because it is based on a constrained resolution principle, and can be used on any point‐based temporal formalism, provided that a correct and complete algorithm is available for checking the consistency of a set of temporal ordering relationships in this language.

Distributed (Re)Planning With Preference Information

TL;DR: In this article, the authors adapt an existing method to obtain a consistent plan using distributed temporal constraints such that all preferences of all agents above a certain level are satisfied, and changes to the constraints or preferences can be dynamically incorporated, adapting the (inconsistent) plan in such a way that all constraints of some preference level were satisfied.

An AI Planning-based Tool for Scheduling Satellite Nominal Operations

TL;DR: An AI domain-independent planner is used that solves the planning and scheduling problems in the HISPASAT domain thanks to its capability of representing and handling continuous variables, coding functions to obtain the operators' variable values, and the use of control rules to prune the search.

MUSE CSP: an extension to the constraint satisfaction problem

TL;DR: An extension to the constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) called MUSE CSP (MUltiply SEgmented Constraint Satisfaction Problem) is described, used to compactly represent lexically ambiguous sentences and the multiple sentence hypotheses that are often generated by speech recognition algorithms so that grammar constraints can be used to provide parses for all syntactically correct sentences.

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.
