Abstract

In this paper, we present a powerful framework for describing, storing, and reasoning about infinite temporal information. This framework is an extension of classical relational databases. It represents infinite temporal information by generalized tuples defined by linear repeating points and constraints on these points. We prove that relations formed from generalized tuples are closed under the operations of relational algebra. A characterization of the expressiveness of generalized relations is given in terms of predicates definable in Presburger arithmetic. Finally, we provide some complexity results.
