                       20th International Symposium on
                     Temporal Representation and Reasoning

                   Pensacola, Florida, USA, September 26-28, 2012

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

(TIME 13) aims to bring together researchers from distinct research
areas involving the management of temporal data as well as the
reasoning about temporal aspects of information.  
This unique and well-established event (see http://time.dico.unimi.it)
has as its objectives to bridge theoretical and applied research, as
well as to serve as an interdisciplinary forum for exchange among
researchers from the areas of artificial intelligence, database
management, logic and verification, and beyond.

* INVITED SPEAKERS

        To be announced
                


* SUBMISSIONS

Submissions of high quality papers describing research results or
on-going work 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previously unpublished content, should be written in English, and must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 by at least three reviewers for
quality, correctness, originality, and relevance. Accepted papers will
be presented at the symposium and included in the proceedings, which
will be published by the Conference Publishing Services
(CPS). Acceptance of a paper is contingent on one author presenting
the paper at the symposium.

Submissions should be in PDF format (with the necessary fonts
embedded). They must be formatted according to the IEEE guidelines and
must not exceed 8 pages; over-length submissions may be rejected
without review.

Papers should be submitted electronically via the EasyChair system at

https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=time13

(4) Special Track On Temporal Data Mining, OLAP And Data Warehouses

This year, TIME has an additional special track on Temporal Data
Mining, OLAP, and Data Warehouses and organized by Carlo
Combi. Submissions for the special track will be primarily managed by
him, though the final decision on acceptance will be taken by the
whole PC.

Exploring and mining huge amounts of time-oriented data is an
acknowledged need in several domains; Such a need poses several
challenges calling theoretical and practical research. Several
research topics underly the study of solutions allowing users to
explore and mine time oriented data: from the modeling of
multidimensional temporal data, to the efficient storage and retrieval
of time-series and temporal data, to the definition of algorithms for
data mining, and so on. Moreover, several application domains could
benefit from advancements of such kind of research: among them, it is
worth to mention here medicine, huge amounts of time-oriented data are
daily produced and need to be analyzed/mined to improve the overall
quality of healthcare processes.

High quality contributions for the special track are welcome in, but
are not limited to, any of the following sub-areas of research:

- Temporal data warehouses 
- Modeling and querying multidimensional temporal data 
- Conceptual modeling of multidimensional temporal data and processes
- Indexing temporal and spatio-temporal data warehouses 
- Summarization of time-oriented data 
- Mining algorithms for temporal data 
- Temporal association rules
- Temporal OLAP 
- ETL and temporal data 
- Reconciled temporal databases 
- Merging multiple and heterogeneous time-oriented databases 
- Design and implementation of temporal OLAP systems 
- Process mining and exploration 
- Temporal data mining in medicine 
- Temporal healthcare data warehouses 
- Time series analysis and mining 
- Temporal pattern discovery 
- Visual OLAP for temporal data 
- Semistructured temporal data warehouses
