Abstract

The Autonomic System Specification Language (ASSL) is a formal method dedicated to autonomic computing, and as such, assists developers with formal specification, validation and code generation of autonomic systems. Due to the synthesis approach of automatic code generation, ASSL guarantees consistency between a specification and the corresponding implementation. Moreover, one of the major objectives of the framework is to assure the correctness of autonomic systems via the inclusion of tools targeting model checking. In this paper, we report our experience in developing model-checking mechanisms for ASSL.
