The '''Remote Component Environment''' (RCE) is an all-purpose, distributed platform for the integration of applications. RCE provides integrated applications access to general-purpose software components like a workflow engine, a privilege management, or an interface to external compute and storage resources (grid, clusters). RCE enables the developers of integrated applications to concentrate on application-specific logic and to let the different applications interact by embedding them into one unified environment. It is a plug-in based system for application integration written in Java on top of the Eclipse framework. It supports and integrates well known middleware solutions like the [[GlobusToolkit]] toolkit and [[UNICORE]] and abstractions layers like [[Hibernate (Java)]].

The '''Remote Component Environment''' (RCE) is an integration environment for scientists and engineers to analyze, design, and simulate complex systems (e.g., [[aircraft]] or [[satellites]]). It focusses on the collaboration in multidisciplinary teams. Treating complex systems requires many experts and several analysis, design, and simulation tools. In RCE, the tools are integrated and coupled to workflows. RCE executes the workflows and fetches the results from the involved tool servers. RCE is extensible and supports different scientific applications with slightly different requirements. RCE is built upon the [[Eclipse_(software)|Eclipse]] Rich Client Platform (RCP). It is open source and published under the [[Eclipse Public License]] (EPL).

Development of the RCE platform took place in the SESIS<ref>http://www.sesis.de</ref> project.
