| Description | Current trends in computing include building distributed systems out of autonomous adaptive components. Communication between the components may be local and communication channels may change over time. This emergent behaviour of communication may be seen as the creation and dissolution of component ensembles. Clearly, correctness of such systems is an important issue. We provide a verification-oriented modelling language for describing these component-ensemble systems as well as a verification tool. The processes of the components as well as the ensemble communication are described in a C++-like fashion. The tool is an extension of the parallel and distributed verification environment DiVinE. We also describe several demonstrative examples and use them to experimentally evaluate our approach. |
