Probabilistic models for focused web crawling
A Focused crawler must use information gleaned from previously crawled page sequences to estimate the relevance of a newly seen URL. Therefore, good performance depends on powerfu...

On Model Checking Techniques for Randomized Distributed Systems
Abstract. The automata-based model checking approach for randomized distributed systems relies on an operational interleaving semantics of the system by means of a Markov decision ...

Towards Faster Planning with Continuous Resources in Stochastic Domains
Agents often have to construct plans that obey resource limits for continuous resources whose consumption can only be characterized by probability distributions. While Markov Deci...

A Pumping Algorithm for Ergodic Stochastic Mean Payoff Games with Perfect Information
Abstract. We consider two-person zero-sum stochastic mean payoff games with perfect information, or BWR-games, given by a digraph G = (V = VB VW VR, E), with local rewards r : E R...

Planning in the Presence of Cost Functions Controlled by an Adversary
We investigate methods for planning in a Markov Decision Process where the cost function is chosen by an adversary after we fix our policy. As a running example, we consider a rob...
