Abstract
This paper is an attempt to introduce a new framework to handle both uncertainty and
time in spatial domain. The application of the fuzzy temporal constraint network (FTCN)
method is proposed for representation and reasoning of uncertain temporal data. A brief
introduction of the fuzzy sets theory is followed by description of the FTCN method with
its main algorithms. The paper then discusses the issues of incorporating fuzzy approach
into current spatio-temporal processing framework. The general temporal data model is
extended to accommodate uncertainties with temporal data and relationships among events.
A theoretical FTCN process of fuzzy transition for the imprecise information is introduced
with an example. A summary of the paper is given together with outlining some
contributions of the paper and future research directions.
Keywords: Fuzzy α-cut, transformation method, transport model, Uncertainty, Variability.
1. Introduction
Uncertainty is intrinsically imbedded in system modeling and parameters being the main
cause of uncertainty in output values. Mechanistic modeling of physical systems is often
complicated by the presence of uncertainties. Commonly environmental models are
calibrated to field data to demonstrate their ability to reproduce contaminant behavior at
site. However, solute transport modeling presents a big uncertainty due to the lack of
reliable field data. On the other hand, specific field situations cannot be extrapolated over
