Special Topics

Allen’s Interval Algebra

Allen’s Interval Algebra is a calculus for temporal reasoning. For further details see this page.

Qualitative Spatio-Temporal Activity Graphs

QSRlib provides also functionalities to represent time-series QSRs as a graph structure, called Qualitative Spatio-Temporal Activity Graphs (QSTAG). For details, please refer to its documentation.
