Analyzing and computing dependent relations of the combat action series

Every agent (combat unit) must plan and execute its own combat action series according to the instructions given by higher authority and its actual situation. Every combat action has a time interval, in order to guarantee the action's coordination within an agent or among some agents, every agent should analyze and compute the temporal relations between the actions that will be executed by its executors. Because there exist possible logical restricts and spacial, temporal or resource's conflicts between the actions, it's very important to correctly recognize temporal dependent relations between the actions, represent the preconditions of an action and design its executing action series for completion of combat mission. We discuss and analyze various dependent relations and put forward using Interval Algebra network and relation matrices to represent and compute the temporal relations.
