Algebraization and representation of mereotopological structures
Ivo Düntsch and Michael Winter
Boolean contact algebras are the abstract counterpart of region--based
theories of space, which date back to the early 1920s. In this paper,
we survey the development of these algebras and relevant construction
and representation theorems.
