Algebraic temporal specifications with extended TUS. Hierarchical granular terms and their applications
Makram Bouzid · 2005
Specification and efficient handling of temporal knowledge is an important issue in design and implementation of contemporary information systems, such as databases, knowledge-based systems or decision support systems. This paper re-explores TUS, the time unit system being an algebraic tool for constructing simple yet powerful temporal specifications. In particular, an extended version of TUS, to be called XTUS is introduced and its basic operations and properties are shown
