Among the outputs of the ASCENS project are multiple tools that address particular issues in designing the ensembles, ranging from support for early stage formal modeling to runtime environment for executing and monitoring ensemble implementations. The goal of this chapter is to provide a compact description of the individual tools, which is supplemented by additional downloadable material on the project website. date: 2015 date_type: published series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science number: 8998 publisher: Springer International Publishing pagerange: 429-448 pages: 20 id_number: 10.1007/978-3-319-16310-9_13 refereed: TRUE isbn: 978-3-319-16309-3 book_title: Software Engineering for Collective Autonomic Systems official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-16310-9_13 citation: Abeywickrama, Dhaminda B. and Combaz, Jacques and Horký, Jaroslav and Kofro\v and Vandin, Andrea and Vassev, Emil Software Engineering for Collective Autonomic Systems: The ASCENS Approach.
