A method is described for the analysis and the verification of safety in software systems. The method offers a formal notation for describing the software structure, the means for ...
This paper presents the CQ algorithm which decomposes and solves a Markov Decision Process (MDP) by automatically generating a hierarchy of smaller MDPs using state variables. The ...
Methods based on Boolean satisfiability (SAT) typically use a Conjunctive Normal Form (CNF) representation of the Boolean formula, and exploit the structure of the given problem ...
Abstract--The difficulties encountered in sequential decisionmaking problems under uncertainty are often linked to the large size of the state space. Exploiting the structure of th...
A new methodology to assess transient performance measures of tree-like processes is proposed by introducing the concept of tree-like processes with marked time epochs. As opposed...
