MeGARA: Menu-based Game Abstraction and Abstraction Refinement of Markov Automata [PDF]
EPTCS 154, 2014, pp. 48-63, 2014 Markov automata combine continuous time, probabilistic transitions, and nondeterminism in a single model. They represent an important and powerful way to model a wide range of complex real-life systems. However, such models tend to be large and difficult to handle, making abstraction and abstraction refinement necessary.

Building and Refining Abstract Planning Cases by Change of Representation Language [PDF]
Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research, Vol 3, (1995), 53-118, 1995 ion is one of the most promising approaches to improve the performance of problem solvers. In several domains abstraction by dropping sentences of a domain description -- as used in most hierarchical planners -- has proven useful. In this paper we present examples which illustrate significant drawbacks of abstraction by dropping sentences.
