This chapter contains documents that should be read first to get the standard general information such as general requirements and needs.
Unchanged from version 0.9.0
This chapter integrates the horizontal technical materials and defines an infrastructure aiming at process simulation based on the
CAPE-OPEN standards. Unchanged from version 0.9.0
This chapter contains all vertical interface specification documents. These interfaces are domain-specific interfaces for CAPE
applications. They define CAPE-OPEN components involved in a CAPE-OPEN process simulation application. These documents are abstract
specifications which create and document a conceptual model in an implementation neutral manner. Changes in this version:
one update document on Thermodynamics and physical properties and one new document on Unit Operations.
This chapter encloses horizontal interface specification documents for handling concepts that may be required by any business
interface. This is a collection of interfaces that support basic functions and are always independent of business interfaces. These
documents are abstract specifications which create and document a common conceptual model in an implementation neutral manner. Changes in this version: there are four new documents.
This chapter contains the implementation of the business and common interface specifications for a given distributed computing
platform. In order to produce CAPE-OPEN compliant software components, any developer has to use these official interface definitions. Changes in this version:
specification for CORBA is now available, update on specification for COM (IDL file and type library)
Release 0.9.3 includes a new version of the CO Tester,
a software tool designed to help you develop CO-compliant components by checking their conformity with CAPE-OPEN standards. The current
version tests THRM and UNIT components.
