Popis: International audience; Reuse of Commercial Off-The-Shelf simulators is a promising and new approach to support collaborative and distributed simulations. This paper presents ComRTI, a reflexive XML middleware that eases reuse and collaboration between various COTS simulators. It is a portable middleware that runs on Windows and Unix stations. ComRTI uses only widely available software such as TCP/IP and XML toolkits. Heterogeneous simulators cooperate by sharing a neutral XML model. ComRTI eases to manage meta-models and neutral models. It helps to project dynamically a neutral model onto a specific target simulator. ComRTI has proven efficiency to develop cooperation services between industrial designers. Thus, distributed designers cooperate easily by sharing meta-models and reusing their classical simulation interface. The designers can cooperate also by running a distributed simulation in- volving different meta-models.
