This work addresses controller synthesis for MDPs with multiple objectives, which is incremental as it builds upon existing PRISM tools.

The authors tackled the problem of synthesizing strategies for Markov decision processes with multiple mean-payoff objectives by developing MultiGain, a tool that extends PRISM with novel algorithms and features like strategy generation and approximate Pareto curves.

We present MultiGain, a tool to synthesize strategies for Markov decision processes (MDPs) with multiple mean-payoff objectives. Our models are described in PRISM, and our tool uses the existing interface and simulator of PRISM. Our tool extends PRISM by adding novel algorithms for multiple mean-payoff objectives, and also provides features such as (i)~generating strategies and exploring them for simulation, and checking them with respect to other properties; and (ii)~generating an approximate Pareto curve for two mean-payoff objectives. In addition, we present a new practical algorithm for the analysis of MDPs with multiple mean-payoff objectives under memoryless strategies.
