CAPE-OPEN UPDATE, Volume 10

CAPE-OPEN UPDATE is a publication of the CAPE-OPEN Laboratories Network (CO-LaN), a non-profit consortium for the development of the CAPE-OPEN standard.

USER TIPS

Remember to visit the standard specification section of CO-LaN web site to better understand both the method and the opportunity of implementing CO standards.  If you are a CAPE software developer, you will find CO testers and the CO standards documentation. If you are a CAPE software user, you will find guidance on the use of CAPE tools in a CO-compliant environment. There is a great deal of information on the web site to guide you and offer insight.

Feel free to contact a CO-LaN member to help you focus your activities. These people can answer questions, discuss the philosophy of CO standards, direct you to CO standards experts, and give you a glimpse of current and future activities.
