Allen's interval algebra

For the type of boolean algebra called interval algebra, see Boolean algebra (structure) Allen's interval algebra is a calculus for temporal reasoning that was introduced by James F. Allen in 1983. The calculus defines possible relations between time intervals and provides a composition table that can be used as a basisfor reasoning about temporal descriptions of events.
