Computer science description: Programming autonomic systems with massive number of heterogeneous components poses a number of challenges to language designers and software engineers and requires the integration of computational tools and reasoning tools. We present a general methodology to enrich SCEL, a recently introduced language for programming systems with massive numbers of components, with reasoning capabilities that are guaranteed by external reasoners. We show how the methodology can be instantiated by considering the Maude implementation of SCEL and a specific reasoner, Pirlo, implemented in Maude as well. Moreover we show how the actual integration can benefit from the existing analytical tools of the Maude framework. In particular, we demonstrate our approach by considering a simple scenario consisting of a group of robots moving in an arena aiming at minimising the number of collisions. publisher: Springer Berlin Heidelberg date: 2014 type: Book Section type: PeerReviewed identifier: Belzner, Lenz and De Nicola, Rocco and Vandin, Andrea and Wirsing, Martin Reasoning (on) service component ensembles in rewriting logic.
