CAPE-OPEN Tour Day in Cambridge, UK |
| modified by Michel Pons |
| Dec 7, 2001 modified March 16, 2006 |
| |
| On December 7th, 2001 a CAPE-OPEN event was held in Cambridge
sponsored by the European funded project Global CAPE-OPEN support. Have been shown the CO standards, interoperability demos, software component migration for unit and
thermo models, CO compliant software components for solvers, unit operations, physical property data bases, and thermodynamic models, the role of middleware such as COM and
CORBA and of IDLs (interface definition languages), how a software component is tested for CO compliance, examples of implemented software components in both COSEs
(CO simulation environments) and plug-in models. |

CAPE-OPEN Award 2001 |
| modified by Michel Pons |
| Dec 6, 2001 modified March 15, 2006 |
| |
| The CAPE-OPEN Laboratories Network presented the first CAPE-OPEN Award to
Dr. Siegfried Nagel in recognition for his outstanding contribution to open process simulation. Dr. Nagel, born in 1939, joined Bayer in 1970 after a Master in physics and a PhD thesis at the Technical University in Aachen. He worked thirty years for Bayer mainly in the domain of technical computer applications and led
Bayer's CAPE group for a long time. A founder member and project leader of IK-CAPE
(German Chemical Industries Consortium on CAPE), Siegfried Nagel was one of
initiators and the first coordinator of the CAPE-OPEN initiative for
open interface standards for process modeling software. The award was given to Siegfried Nagel on Dec. 6th, 2001 by Bertrand Braunschweig,
coordinator of the Global CAPE-OPEN project, during the project's final technical meeting in Cambridge, UK. The meeting, hosted by Aspen Technologies UK Ltd., was attended by around fifty participants from
Europe, USA and Japan |
