    Reachability Design Through Approximate Bayesian Computation

    Time-bounded reachability problems are concerned with assessing whether a model’s trajectories traverse a given region of the state-space within given time-bounds. In the case of stochastic models reachability...

    Uncertain Agent Verification through Probabilistic Model-Checking

    In many situations an agent’s behaviour can sensibly be described only in terms of a distribution of probability over a set of possibilities. In such case (agents’) decision-making becomes probabilistic too. I...
