Abstract

Abstraction is a fundamental element of qualitative reasoning about physical systems and crucial for coping with complexity of real problems. Temporal abstractions form an important class that comprises a variety of different transformations. We show how an important subclass can be formalized in a theory of relational behavior models of physical systems.
