Abstract

We introduce and study the multi-agent stochastic shortest path (MSSP) problem, in which kk agents strive to reach a target state, aiming to minimize the expected time to reach the target by any agent. We analyze the computational and strategy-complexity of the problem in both autonomous and coordinated settings, and we design efficient strategy-synthesis algorithms. The algorithms are experimentally evaluated on instances of increasing size against natural baselines.
