version 1.1
First released on September 2002 as draft only. First official release on October 23, 2006.
Business Interfaces
This chapter contains 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. Business interfaces can be roughly grouped in four categories, as shown above: numerics, unit operations, thermodynamic and physical properties, and others.
Changes in this version: Version 1.1 updates the previously published CAPE-OPEN interface specification for Thermodynamic and Physical Properties known as CAPE-OPEN 1.0. Version 1.1 delivers a set of brand new interfaces. These new interfaces are now part of the official standard. An update of the interface specification document has been released in 2009.
Implementation Specifications
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: provides COM type library installer.
