Résumé : The cross-disciplinary activity of modelling and simulation is the core of the scientific activities addressing the complexity of nature. In this context, we need reliable computational environments to integrate heterogeneous representations coming from different scientific fields. Therefore, such environments must be able to integrate heterogeneous formalisms in the same model and assist the modeller for the design and implementation of models, the definition of the experimental frames and the analysis of simulation results. The aim of this article is to introduce a tool supporting all these features, the Virtual Laboratory Environment (VLE). VLE is a software and an API which supports multi-modelling, simulation and analysis. It addresses the reliability issue by using recent developments in the theory of modelling and simulation proposed by Zeigler. We present VLE in the context of the modelling and simulation cycle and show the effectiveness of the tool with a multi-model of fireman fighting a fire spread.
