Complexity of Qualitative Timeline-Based Planning

Authors: Dario Della Monica, Nicola Gigante, Salvatore La Torre, and Angelo Montanari

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 178, 27th International Symposium on Temporal Representation and Reasoning (TIME 2020)


Abstract
The timeline-based approach to automated planning was originally developed in the context of space missions. In this approach, problem domains are expressed as systems consisting of independent but interacting components whose behaviors over time, the timelines, are governed by a set of temporal constraints, called synchronization rules. Although timeline-based system descriptions have been successfully used in practice for decades, the research on the theoretical aspects only started recently. In the last few years, some interesting results have been shown concerning both its expressive power and the computational complexity of the related planning problem. In particular, the general problem has been proved to be EXPSPACE-complete. Given the applicability of the approach in many practical scenarios, it is thus natural to ask whether computationally simpler but still expressive fragments can be identified. In this paper, we study the timeline-based planning problem with the restriction that only qualitative synchronization rules, i.e., rules without explicit time bounds in the constraints, are allowed. We show that the problem becomes PSPACE-complete.

Evaluation of Temporal Datasets via Interval Temporal Logic Model Checking

Authors: Dario Della Monica, David de Frutos-Escrig, Angelo Montanari, Aniello Murano, and Guido Sciavicco

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 90, 24th International Symposium on Temporal Representation and Reasoning (TIME 2017)


Abstract
The problem of temporal dataset evaluation consists in establishing to what extent a set of temporal data (histories) complies with a given temporal condition. It presents a strong resemblance with the problem of model checking enhanced with the ability of rating the compliance degree of a model against a formula. In this paper, we solve the temporal dataset evaluation problem by suitably combining the outcomes of model checking an interval temporal logic formula against sets of histories (finite interval models), possibly taking into account domain-dependent measures/criteria, like, for instance, sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy. From a technical point of view, the main contribution of the paper is a (deterministic) polynomial time algorithm for interval temporal logic model checking over finite interval models. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first application of a (truly) interval temporal logic model checking in the area of temporal databases and data mining rather than in the formal verification setting.
