Our goal is to synthesize values of these parameters that, for a given cost function, minimise expected total cost incurred before reaching a given set of target states. We show that under mild assumptions, optimal values of parameters can be effectively approximated using translation to a Markov decision process (MDP) whose actions correspond to discretized values of these parameters. To this end we identify and overcome several interesting phenomena arising in systems with fixed delays.","lang":"eng"}],"quality_controlled":"1","conference":{"name":"QEST: Quantitative Evaluation of Systems","location":"Madrid, Spain","start_date":"2015-09-01","end_date":"2015-09-03"},"intvolume":"      9259","title":"Optimizing performance of continuous-time stochastic systems using timeout synthesis","publisher":"Springer","publication_status":"published","status":"public","series_title":"Lecture Notes in Computer Science","publist_id":"5482","type":"conference","department":[{"_id":"KrCh"}],"page":"141 - 159","citation":{"ama":"Brázdil T, Korenčiak L, Krčál J, Novotný P, Řehák V.
