The chemical-inspired programming approach is an emerging paradigm for defining the behavior of densely distributed and context-aware devices (e.g., in ecosystems of displays tailored to crowd steering, or to obtain profile-based coordinated visualization). Typically, the evolution of such systems cannot be easily predicted, thus making of paramount importance the availability of techniques and tools supporting prior-to-deployment analysis. Exact analysis techniques do not scale well when the complexity of systems grows: as a consequence, approximated techniques based on simulation assumed a relevant role. This work presents a new simulation-based distributed analysis tool addressing the statistical analysis of such a kind of systems. The tool has been obtained by chaining two existing tools: MultiVeSta and Alchemist. The former is a recently proposed lightweight tool which allows to enrich existing discrete event simulators with automated and distributed statistical analysis capabilities, while the latter is an efficient simulator for chemical-inspired computational systems. The tool is validated against a crowd steering scenario, and insights on the performance are provided by discussing how the analysis tasks scale on a multi-core architecture.
