<title>ABSTRACT</title>
<p>T&#198;MS is a hierarchical modeling language capable of representing complex task networks with intra-task uncertainties
and inter-task dependencies. The uncertainty and complexity of the application domains represented in T&#198;MS models
often lead to very large state spaces, which push the need
to design efiient solution algorithms for T&#198;MS problems.
In this paper, we present a solver that integrates selective
state space search techniques with state space decomposition
techniques. Our experiments demonstrate that the solver
can find an (approximately) optimal solution much faster
than prior approaches.</p>
