RCE is an Open Source distributed, workflow-driven integration environment. It is used by engineers and scientists to design and simulate complex systems (e.g., aircraft, ships, or satellites) by using and integrating their own design and simulation tools.
An overview about RCE and some of its application fields gives this survey article.
If you're interested in contributing to RCE please don't hesitate and contact us. The source code is distributed as a zip archive along with each release. We will provide general public access to our source code repository soon.
Follow us on Twitter for latest news concerning releases, talks, related science etc. Check our YouTube channel for screen casts and other nice stuff concerning RCE.

We are always open to working together with users to extend RCE and to apply it to new use cases. For this, we often participate in collaborative research projects. Please contact us at rce@dlr.de.
While we regularly recommend upgrading RCE to the latest release, we would like to introduce more explicit information about RCE's upgrade and versioning policy. This is intended to support RCE users and administrators in their upgrade decisions and planning.
Please note that this policy will be refined and adapted as …
On Friday, December 10th, an exploit was reported in the "Log4j" logging library for Java applications that allows unauthenticated remote code execution. We have examined RCE, using both manual inspection and automated vulnerabiltiy scanners, and are glad to report that RCE is not affected by this vulnerability. While RCE uses …
As part of the development of RCE, we are involved in a number of research projects. Colleagues working on these projects regularly construct workflows that are far larger and more intricate than anything we envisioned when we started development. While involvement in these projects allows for "keyhole insight" into the …
Update January 22, 2020: The fix is now available for RCE 9 as well as RCE 10 and can be downloaded here (RCE 9) and here (RCE 10) respectively. These versions of RCE will not be distributed via the normal RCE update mechanism and are only intended for users that …
We are pleased to announce the launch of the RCE Newsletter. Via this newsletter we will inform interested users about new releases of RCE, to announce upcoming events, and for general information on current developments. You can find instructions for signing up here. We hope this will be a welcome …
