Abstract
We discuss our experiences in building tools for software verification of autonomic systems developed with the Autonomic System Specification Language (ASSL). ASSL is a software framework that aims to assist developers of autonomic systems by providing a powerful combination of both notation and tools. One of the major objectives of the framework is to assure the correctness of the autonomic systems via inclusion of tools targeting consistency checking, model checking, and automatic test case generation. In this paper, we review our recent work on these tools.
