The most representative interval temporal logic, called HS, was introduced by Halpern and Shoham in the nineties. Recently, HS has been proposed as a suitable formalism for modern artificial intelligence applications; however, when dealing with real-life data one is not always able to express temporal relations and propositional labels in a definite, crisp way. In this paper, following the seminal ideas of Fitting and Zadeh, we present a fuzzy generalization of HS, called FHS, that partially solves such problems of expressive power. We study FHS from both a theoretical and an application standpoint: first, we discuss its syntax, semantics, expressive power, and satisfiability problem; then, we define and solve the time series FHS finite model checking problem, to serve as the basis of future applications.

Abstract
The most representative interval temporal logic, called HS, was introduced by Halpern and Shoham in the nineties. Recently, HS has been proposed as a suitable formalism for modern artificial intelligence applications; however, when dealing with real-life data one is not always able to express temporal relations and propositional labels in a definite, crisp way. In this paper, following the seminal ideas of Fitting and Zadeh, we present a fuzzy generalization of HS, called FHS, that partially solves such problems of expressive power. We study FHS from both a theoretical and an application standpoint: first, we discuss its syntax, semantics, expressive power, and satisfiability problem; then, we define and solve the time series FHS finite model checking problem, to serve as the basis of future applications.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
