            Abstract : 
The major problem in developing a useful formalism for reasoning about spatial information is the trade off between expressive power and computational tractability. Based on Bennett´s modal representation of convex-hull and the RCC62 model which describes the topological relation between simple concave regions, the modal representation of RCC62 is presented in this paper, which has a theoretical advantage over 1st-order representations.
