Decentralized MDPs provide a powerful formal framework for planning in multi-agent systems, but the complexity of the model limits its usefulness. We study in this paper a class o...

We study a subclass of POMDPs, called quasi-deterministic POMDPs (QDET-POMDPs), characterized by deterministic actions and stochastic observations. While this framework does not mo...
We consider decentralized control of Markov decision processes and give complexity bounds on the worst-case running time for algorithms that find optimal solutions. Generalization...

We investigate an approach for simultaneously committing to multiple activities, each modeled as a temporally extended action in a semi-Markov decision process (SMDP). For each ac...

This paper provides a technique, based on partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs), for building automatic recovery controllers to guide distributed system recovery...
