    Abstract

    Topological logics are formal systems for representing and manipulating information about the topological relationships between objects in space. Over the past two decades, these logics have been the subject of intensive research in Artificial Intelligence, under the general rubric of Qualitative Spatial Reasoning. This chapter sets out the mathematical foundations of topological logics, and surveys some of their many surprising properties.
