Abstract :
This paper extends the point duration network (PDN) of Navarrete and Marin (1997) to represent both qualitative and quantitative information about point events. An algorithm to solve reasoning tasks such as finding a consistent scenario with minimal domains is briefly described. We also propose a further extension to capture quantitative information about durations
