The '''Remoteremote Componentcomponent Environmentenvironment''' (RCE) is an integration environment for scientists and engineers to analyze, design, and simulate complex systems (e.g., [[aircraft]],<ref>http://www.linux-magazin.de/NEWS/RCE-Chameleon-Open-Source-Software-entwirft-Flugzeuge</ref> [[satellites]], orand [[space vehicle]]<ref>http://seider.us/?p=110</ref>). It focusses on the collaboration in multidisciplinary teams. Treating complex systems requires many experts and several analysis, design, and simulation tools.<ref>https://www.eclipsecon.org/europe2011/sessions/using-eclipse-technology-aerospace-simulations.html</ref> 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<ref>http://www.apachecon.com/c/acna2010/sessions/600</ref><ref>http://seider.us/?p=103</ref> 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.
