A Framework for Planning in Continuous-time Stochastic Domains
We propose a framework for policy generation in continuoustime stochastic domains with concurrent actions and events of uncertain duration. We make no assumptions regarding the co...

Expressive Equivalence of Formalisms for Planning with Sensing
There have been several proposals for expressing planning problems with different forms of uncertainty, including nondeterminism and partial observability. In this paper we invest...
