TIME-95 Workshop Program

International Workshop on Temporal Representation and Reasoning

Melbourne Beach, Florida, USA -- April 26, 1995


8:00am  Welcome and Register (pick up name tags, proceedings)   [Refreshments]

8:20am  Opening Remarks

8:30am  Invited Speaker:

	Peter Haddawy is a faculty member in the Department of Electrical
	Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Wisconsin-
	Milwaukee and an adjunct faculty member in the Department of Radiology
	at the Medical College of Wisconsin. His research is concerned with
	planning and decision making under uncertainty in temporally rich
	domains.  His current work focuses on efficient algorithms for
	probabilistic reasoning and decision-theoretic planning and on their
	application in medicine.  His work on logics of time and chance was
	recently published as a monograph.  He has been a Shell Oil Company
	Fellow and an Avery Brundage Scholar.

9:30am  Paper Session 1 (20 minutes each)

	``Hybrid Temporal and Non-Temporal Knowledge for Scheduling''
	Stephan Becker, Technical University of Hamburg-Harburg, Germany,

	``A language to express time intervals and repetition''

10:30am Poster Session (30 minutes)             [Refreshments available]

	A number of posters will be on display around the workshop meeting
	room. Workshop participants are invited to wander between the
	refreshment table and the poster displays. Poster presenters will
	be on hand to present their posters and answer questions. There
	will be a second opportunity to view the posters in the afternoon
	session. The list of poster papers is attached to the end of the
	program.
