The pressing need in adapting and improving farming practices has motivated research efforts to extend the classical analyses of soil-crop-c1imate systems to considerations of their management at field, farm and regional scales. For the specifie question of analysing and designing innovative cropping systems, INRA (French National Institute for Agricultural Research) has launched the development of a simulation modeling platform called RECORD. This modelling platform is intended to ease complex model development and to promote model reusability. The platform will also offer common methods for estimating model parameters, analysing simulation outputs and optimizing management policies. In the following, we first present the main functional requirements of RECORD. We th en present some preliminary choices concerning the platform architecture
