Abstract

Earlier papers ( Allen and Hayes 1985,1986) described a compact axiomatic theory which provided a formal basis for temporal reasoning. This theory makes a sharp distinction between time points and periops of time. We show here, by considering possible models of the theory, that it can be slightly extended to give a better fit to intuition. In particular, the extended theory is preserved under changes of temporal granularity.
