The central issue is to compute the maximum probability of the set of timed paths of a CTMDP $\mathcal{C}$ that are accepted by a DTA $\mathcal{A}$. We show that this problem can be reduced to a linear programming problem whose coefficients are maximum timed reachability probabilities in a set of CTMDPs, which are obtained via a graph decomposition of the product of the CTMDP $\mathcal{C}$ and the region graph of the DTA $\mathcal{A}$. \itemrv{~} \itemcc{} \itemut{} \itemli{doi:10.1007/978-3-642-24288-5\_2} \end
