Event Segment - Timed Language

Timed Language

The universal timed language over an event set and a time interval, is denoted by, and is defined as the set of all possible event segments. Formally,

$\Omega_{Z,}=\{(z,t)^*| z \in Z \cup \{\epsilon\}, t \in \}$

where denotes a none or multiple concatenation(s) of timed events. Notice that the number of events in an event segment $\omega \in \Omega_{Z,}$ can be one of zero, finite or infinite. Infinitely many events in an event segment $\omega \in \Omega_{Z,[t_l, t_u]}$ implies that, however $t_u - t_l \rightarrow \infty$ does not imply infinite many events in it.

A timed language over an event set and a timed interval is a set of event segments over and $[t_l, t_u]$ . If is a language over and, then $L \subseteq \Omega_{Z, }$ .

Famous quotes containing the words timed and/or language:

“He bends to the order of the seasons, the weather, the soils and crops, as the sails of a ship bend to the wind. He represents continuous hard labor, year in, year out, and small gains. He is a slow person, timed to Nature, and not to city watches. He takes the pace of seasons, plants and chemistry. Nature never hurries: atom by atom, little by little, she achieves her work.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“If when a businessman speaks of minority employment, or air pollution, or poverty, he speaks in the language of a certified public accountant analyzing a corporate balance sheet, who is to know that he understands the human problems behind the statistical ones? If the businessman would stop talking like a computer printout or a page from the corporate annual report, other people would stop thinking he had a cash register for a heart. It is as simple as that—but that isn’t simple.”
—Louis B. Lundborg (1906–1981)
