Abstract

Behavior composition problem is particularly relevant for multi-agent systems and aims at building a complex target behavior using several agent behaviors. In this work, we develop a framework that models the agent behaviors in stochastic settings both when the target is represented as a Finite State Machine and when it is represented as an ltl\(_f\)  formula.

Notes

  1. 1.

    An MDP is a tuple \(\mathcal {M}= \langle S,A,T,R\rangle \) formed by: a set S of states, a set A of actions, a transition function \(T : S\times A \rightarrow Prob(S)\), and a reward function \(R : S\times A\rightarrow \mathbb {R}\).

  2. 2.

    ltl\(_f\) is a variant of Linear Temporal Logic (ltl) interpreted over finite traces, instead of infinite ones [7].
