We consider a new simulation-based optimization method called the Nested Partitions (NP) method. This method generates a Markov chain and solving the optimization problem is equiv...

In this paper, we describe the dual-processor parallelisation of a symbolic (BDD-based) implementation of probabilistic model checking. We use multi-terminal BDDs, which allow a c...

We introduce relational grams (r-grams). They upgrade n-grams for modeling relational sequences of atoms. As n-grams, r-grams are based on smoothed n-th order Markov chains. Smoot...
