Prolog: papers are solicited from different research areas, dealing with
time-related issues. Several topics could be of interest for the TYPES
community. Among them, I mention here: temporal logics for dynamic data
types; types for temporal data; type evolution; programming languages
for temporal representation and reasoning.

The 11th International Symposium on
TEMPORAL REPRESENTATION AND REASONING
(TIME 2004)
http://www.greyc.unicaen.fr/time2004
Tatihou, Basse Normandie, France
1-3 July, 2004
The purpose of this symposium is to bring together active researchers
from distinct research areas involving the representation of, or
reasoning with, time. As with previous meetings in this respected
series, one of the main goals of the TIME symposium will be to bridge
the gap between theoretical and applied research in temporal
representation and reasoning. Thus, we especially encourage submissions
concerning temporal aspects within areas such as Artificial
Intelligence, Temporal/Spatial Databases and Applications of Temporal
Logic in Computer Science in order to achieve a multi-disciplinary
perspective on the topic and to benefit from cross-fertilisation of ideas.
There are three tracks in the symposium with separate program
committees, all overseen by the program chairs. The conference is
planned as a three-day event, and will be organised as a combination of
technical paper presentations, an extended poster session, and four
keynote talks.
INVITED SPEAKERS
Invited Speakers:

TOPICS
Submission of high quality papers describing mature results or on-going
work are welcome. Submitted papers should describe original, previously

- temporal constraint reasoning
- reasoning about actions and change
- temporal languages for planning
- temporal languages and architectures
- ontologies of time
- expressive power versus tractability
- belief and uncertainty in temporal knowledge
- temporal learning and discovery
- time and nonmonotonicity
- time in problem solving (e.g. diagnosis, scheduling,...)
- time in human-machine interaction
- spatio-temporal reasoning
Track 2: Time Management in Databases
- temporal data models
- temporal database design
- temporal query languages
- indexing of temporal data
- temporal database systems
- spatio-temporal databases
- constraint databases
- temporal data mining
- time in multimedia databases
- time in web applications
- time in federated and heterogeneous systems
- time in workflow systems
- querying time series databases
- querying data streams
Track 3: Temporal Logic in Computer Science
- specification and verification
- synthesis and execution
- model checking algorithms
- temporal architectures
- temporal logics for distributed systems
- temporal logics of knowledge
- hybrid systems
- tools and practical systems
PAPER SUBMISSION
Submissions must not exceed the length of 11 pages; font size must be
11pt or larger. The submission should describe original, previously
unpublished research.
It is strongly suggested the use of the LaTeX article style at 11pt.
Overlength submissions will be rejected without review. Please, indicate
the category, track, and topic(s) on the first page. Accepted papers
will be invited for full presentation or a poster presentation. Papers
should be electronically submitted via the form available at the TIME
2004 web site (http://www.greyc.unicaen.Fr/time2004).
All submissions must be received by Thursday 5 February, 2004.
PROCEEDINGS
As usual within the TIME series, proceedings will be published by IEEE
Computer Society Press and will be subject to IEEE Copyright. Camera
ready papers are expected to be produced with the author kits sent by
IEEE Computer Society Press. It is also our intention to organise a
special issue of a respected journal, containing extended versions of
selected papers from the symposium.
