TIME 2011 Call for Papers
Eighteenth International Symposium on
Temporal Representation and Reasoning
Luebeck, Germany, September 12-14, 2011
http://www.isp.uni-luebeck.de/time11/
The TIME symposium series is a well-established annual event that
brings together researchers from all areas of computer science that
involve temporal representation and reasoning. This includes, but is
not limited to, artificial intelligence, temporal databases, and the
verification of software and hardware systems. In addition to fostering
interdisciplinarity, the TIME symposia emphasize bridging the gap
between theoretical and applied research. This year, TIME will
feature a special track on interval temporal logics.
The conference will span three days, and will be organized
as a combination of technical paper presentations, keynote lectures,
and tutorials.

Temporal Representation and Reasoning in AI includes, but is not limited to:
- temporal aspects of agent- and policy-based systems
- spatial and temporal reasoning
- reasoning about actions and change
- planning and planning languages
- ontologies of time and space-time
- belief and uncertainty in temporal knowledge
- temporal learning and discovery
- time in problem solving (e.g. diagnosis, scheduling)
- time in human-machine interaction
- temporal information extraction
- time in natural language processing
- spatio-temporal knowledge representation systems
- spatio-temporal ontologies for the semantic web
Temporal Database Management includes, but is not limited to:
- temporal data models and query languages
- temporal query processing and indexing
- temporal data mining
- time series data management
- stream data management
- spatio-temporal data management, including moving objects
- data currency and expiration
- indeterminate and imprecise temporal data
- temporal constraints
- temporal aspects of workflow and ECA systems
- real-time databases
- time-dependent security policies
- privacy in temporal and spatio-temporal data
- temporal aspects of multimedia databases
- temporal aspects of e-services and web applications
- temporal aspects of distributed systems
- novel applications of temporal database management
- experiences with real applications
Temporal Logic and Verification in Computer Science includes, but is not limited to:
- specification and verification of systems
- verification of web applications
- synthesis and execution
- model checking algorithms
- verification of infinite-state systems
- reasoning about transition systems
- temporal architectures
- temporal logics for distributed systems
- temporal logics of knowledge
- hybrid systems and real-time logics
- tools and practical systems
- temporal issues in security
Special track on Interval Temporal logic
This year, TIME has an additional special track on Interval Temporal
Logics. This track is organized by Dimitar Guelev and Ben Moszkowski.
Submissions on ITL will be primarily managed by them, though the final
decision on acceptance will be taken by the whole PC. Topics of interest
include, but are not limited to:
- expressiveness, decidability, proof systems, model- and validity-checking
for ITLs
- modelling of system requirements in terms of time intervals
- intervals versus time points in temporal modelling
- Duration Calculus and other extensions and variants of ITLs
- ITLs, DC, timed automata, timed regular languages and other models of real time
- interval algebras and spatio-temporal reasoning
- case studies, applications and tool support for interval-based reasoning
* PAPER SUBMISSION
Submissions of high quality papers describing research results
are solicited. Submitted papers should contain original,
previously unpublished content, should be written in English, and must
not be simultaneously submitted for publication elsewhere.
Submitted papers will be refereed by at least three reviewers for
quality, correctness, originality, and relevance. Accepted papers will
be presented at the symposium and included in the proceedings, which
will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press. Acceptance of a
paper is contingent on one author presenting the paper at the
symposium.
Submissions should be in PDF format (with the necessary fonts
embedded). They must be formatted according to the IEEE guide-
lines described at
ftp://pubftp.computer.org/press/outgoing/
proceedings/8.5x11 - Formatting files/
and must not exceed 8 pages; over-length submissions may be
rejected without review.
Papers are submitted electronically via Easychair:
