22nd International Symposium on Temporal Representation and Reasoning, 
TIME 2015

Call for papers


TIME 2015 aims to bring together researchers interested in reasoning 
about temporal aspects of information in any area of Computer Science. 
The symposium, currently in its 22nd edition, has a wide remit and 
intends to cater both for theoretical aspects and well-founded 
applications. One of the key aspects of the time symposium is its 
interdisciplinarity with attendees from distinct areas such as 
artificial intelligence, database management, logic and verification, 
and beyond.

Submissions of high quality papers describing research results are 
solicited. Submitted papers should contain original, previously 
unpublished content, should be written in English, and must not be 
simultaneously submitted for publication elsewhere. Submitted papers 
will be refereed for quality, correctness, originality, and relevance.

The symposium will encompass three tracks on temporal representation and 
reasoning in AI, Databases, as well as Logic and Verification.

Temporal Representation and Reasoning in AI includes, but is not limited to:
- temporal aspects of agent- and policy-based systems
- spatial and temporal reasoning
- reasoning about actions and change
- planning and planning languages
- ontologies of time and space-time
- belief and uncertainty in temporal knowledge
- temporal learning and discovery
- time in problem solving (e.g. diagnosis, scheduling)
- time in human-machine interaction
- temporal information extraction
- time in natural language processing
- spatio-temporal knowledge representation systems
- spatio-temporal ontologies for the semantic web
- constraint-based temporal reasoning
- temporal preferences

Temporal Database Management includes, but is not limited to:
- temporal data models and query languages
- temporal query processing and indexing
- temporal data mining
- time series data management
- stream data management
- spatio-temporal data management, including moving objects
- data currency and expiration
- indeterminate and imprecise temporal data
- temporal constraints
- temporal aspects of business processes and ECA systems
- real-time databases
- time-dependent security policies
- privacy in temporal and spatio-temporal data
- temporal aspects of multimedia databases
- temporal aspects of e-services and web applications
- temporal aspects of distributed systems
- temporal aspects and big data
- temporal aspects in NoSQL databases
- temporal data warehouses
- temporal healthcare databases and warehouses
- time series analysis and mining
- semistructured temporal data
- novel applications of temporal database management
- experiences with real applications

Temporal Logic and Verification in Computer Science includes, but is not 
limited to:
- specification and verification of systems
- verification of web applications
- synthesis and execution
- model checking algorithms and implementations
- verification of infinite-state systems
- reasoning about transition systems
- temporal architectures
- temporal logics for distributed systems
- temporal logics for games and open systems
- temporal logics of knowledge
- hybrid systems and real-time logics
- tools and practical systems
- temporal issues in security

Submissions
************
Submissions should be in PDF format (with the necessary fonts embedded). 
They must be formatted according to the IEEE guidelines and must not 
exceed 10 pages (US letter format); over-length submissions may be 
rejected without review. Submissions will be handled electronically by 
Easychair.

Proceedings
************
Accepted papers will be presented at the symposium and included in the 
proceedings, which will be published by the IEEE Conference Publishing 
Services (CPS), as usual within the TIME series. Acceptance of a paper 
is contingent on one author registering for and presenting the paper at 
the symposium.
Journal Special Issue

As in previous years, the authors of the best papers of the conference 
will be invited to submit an extended version of their contribution to a 
special issue on TIME 2015, to appear in the journal Information & 
Computation.

Venue
******
TIME2015 will be held at the University of Kassel. The city of Kassel is 
situated in the center of Germany with convenient train connections to 
major cities and airports, including Frankfurt. Kassel is a center of 
culture and art, once home to the famous Brothers Grimm, now hosting an 
art school of high reputation and the documenta - regarded to be 
Europe’s most important modern art exhibition taking place every fifth 
year only. The 300-year-old “Bergpark”, a large park-like area with a 
castle and monuments at Kassel’s western boundaries, has recently been 
given the status of a UNESCO heritage site and become a major tourist 
attraction since. For more information please consult
