Link streams model interactions over time, and a clique in a link stream
is defined as a set of nodes and a time interval such that all pairs of nodes
in this set interact permanently during this time interval. This notion was
introduced recently in the case where interactions are instantaneous. We
generalize it to the case of interactions with durations and show that the
instantaneous case actually is a particular case of the case with durations.
We propose an algorithm to detect maximal cliques that improves our
previous one for instantaneous link streams, and performs better than the
state of the art algorithms in several cases of interest.
