Temporal reasoning with preferences and uncertainty
Neil Yorke‐Smith, Kristen Brent Venable, Francesca Rossi · 2003
Temporal Constraint Satisfaction Problems allow for reasoning with events happening over time. Their expressiveness has been extended indepen-dently in two directions: to account for uncontrol-lable events, and, more recently, to account for soft temporal preferences. The motivation for both ex-tensions is from real-life temporal problems; and indeed such problems may well necessitate both preferences and uncertainty. This paper proposes the study of temporal problems with both pref-erences and uncertainty, and puts forward some methods for their resolution. 1
