The algorithm we present for this language decides whether a given set of constraints is consistent in time that is quadratic in the input size. We also prove that (unlike Ord-Horn) this language cannot be solved by Datalog or by establishing local consistency.19 pages, 1 figureArtificial IntelligenceLogic in Computer ScienceI.2.4A Fast Algorithm and Datalog Inexpressibility for Temporal Reasoningtext
