Decision-making under uncertainty: beyond probabilities: Challenges and perspectives

T Badings, TD Simão, M Suilen, N Jansen - International Journal on …, 2023 - Springer
This position paper reflects on the state-of-the-art in decision-making under uncertainty. A
classical assumption is that probabilities can sufficiently capture all uncertainty in a system …

The probabilistic model checker Storm

C Hensel, S Junges, JP Katoen, T Quatmann… - International Journal on …, 2022 - Springer
We present the probabilistic model checker Storm. Storm supports the analysis of discrete-

Parameter Synthesis for Markov Models: Covering the Parameter Space

S Junges, E Ábrahám, C Hensel, N Jansen… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2019 - arxiv.org
Markov chain analysis is a key technique in formal verification. A practical obstacle is that all
probabilities in Markov models need to be known. However, system quantities such as …
