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. Is 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).
Development of the RCE platform took place in the SESIS[1] project.
Previously the platform was known by Reconfigurable Computing Environment. Since it has been open sourced the name changed to Remote Component Environment[2].
