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).
Development of the RCE platform took place in the SESIS project.
Previously the platform was known by Reconfigurable Computing Environment. Since it has been open sourced the name changed to Remote Component Environment.
Famous quotes containing the words remote, component and/or environment:
“Europe has a set of primary interests, which to us have none, or a very remote relation. Hence she must be engaged in frequent controversies, the causes of which are essentially foreign to our concerns. Hence, therefore, it must be unwise in us to implicate ourselves, by artificial ties, in the ordinary vicissitudes of her politics or the ordinary combinations and collisions of her friendships or enmities.”
—George Washington (1732–1799)
“... no one knows anything about a strike until he has seen it break down into its component parts of human beings.”
—Mary Heaton Vorse (1874–1966)
“... several generations of slum environment will produce a slum heredity ...”
—Albion Fellows Bacon (1865–1933)
