In this paper, we propose a framework for representing and reasoning about qualitative and quantitative temporal constraints between periodic events. In particular, our contribution is twofold: (i) we provide a formalism to deal with both qualitative and quantitative “periodicity‐dependent” constraints between repeated events, considering user‐defined periodicities as well; and (ii) we propose an intensional approach to temporal reasoning, which is based on the operations of intersection and composition. Such a comprehensive approach, to the best of our knowledge, represents an innovative contribution that integrates and extends results from both the artificial intelligence and the temporal databases literature. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
