CAPE-OPEN UPDATE, Volume 11
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.
LATEST NEWS
3rd US CAPE-OPEN Conference at the San Francisco AIChE Annual Meeting
The American Institute of Chemical Engineers Annual Meeting will be held in San Francisco, California on 12-17 November, 2006. The CO-LaN has planned its 3rd Annual
US CAPE-OPEN conference to be a component of this meeting. As with past US CO Conferences (at US-EPA in Cincinnati, OH and at NETL in Morgantown, WV), there will be a
broad range of presentations and discussions for CO users and developers. There will be opportunities for those new to the CO standards to learn where they can apply
them and gain value. Those who have obtained success in implementation will be sharing their stories. Those who offer software solutions will demonstrate the power of
interoperability. This will be an excellent opportunity to network with other CAPE professionals, learn how to capitalize on CO compliant software, share progress,
and catch a glimpse of the future of this key industry standard.
If you have an idea for a presentation, go to the
AIChE website and choose Topical D to submit abstracts
till May 15. Next step is to register for the meeting and attend the CAPE-OPEN Conference.

ProSim training for CAPE-OPEN developers
ProSim,
Toulouse, France, February 2006 - Press Release:
created for Rhodia
a training session on CAPE-OPEN interface implementation. In order to progress
with implementing CAPE-OPEN interfaces in their software tools, Rhodia asked
ProSim SA to develop a specific training session based on ProSim experience in
both the PPDB and the THRM interface specifications.
This training session was specifically created for Rhodia and mainly addressed
CAPE-OPEN interfaces relative to physico-chemical properties databases and
thermodynamic calculation servers. While relying on ProSim’s experience in the
domain (ProSim finalized the PPDB tester for CO-LaN and developed the property
server Simulis Thermodynamics), this training aimed at providing Rhodia
engineers the necessary know-how to integrate CAPE-OPEN in the development of
in-house applications. The session covered the fundamental notions of COM
middleware, the specifications common to objects and domains covered by the
CAPE-OPEN standards, the PPDB specification used to access pure components
databases as well as the “Thermo” specification used to access thermodynamic
calculations. “The expertise brought by ProSim allows us to consider future
developments within the framework of an industry recognised standard” say
Patrick Auvray, World Simulation Manager at Rhodia.
ProSim is an active member of CO-LaN and contributes to the development of the
CAPE-OPEN standards, in particular through its software component Simulis
Thermodynamics, dedicated to thermodynamic property calculation and phase
equilibrium.
