Summary
This chapter introduced temporal expressions and temporal operators. Temporal operators are divided into base temporal operators, atomic temporal operators, and composite temporal operators. Base operators are used to translate values and transitions in signal values into temporal expressions. Atomic temporal operators provide unique temporal evaluations. An abstract evaluation model for a temporal operator was presented and evaluation of atomic temporal operators were described using this abstract model. Composite temporal operators were described in terms of atomic operators.
This chapter also presented a temporal dictionary showing implementation of common event definitions and check phrases. Issues affecting performance of temporal expressions evaluations were discussed.
