摘要
Markov automata are a powerful formalism for modelling systems which exhibit nondeterminism, probabilistic choices and continuous stochastic timing. We consider the computation of long-run average rewards, the most classical problem in continuous-time Markov model analysis. We propose an algorithm based on value iteration. It improves the state of the art by orders of magnitude. The contribution is rooted in a fresh look on Markov automata, namely by treating them as an efficient encoding of CTMDPs with - in the worst case - exponentially more transitions.
