  Technical Architecture
  Integrated Guidelines (167.4 KB)
Gathers a number of architectural and technical issues in order to offer to the CO interface designers and CO compliant components developers all the generic information needed. Acts as reference material for further developing and implementing interfaces specific to the process simulation domain. Gives the selection of the methods and software tools for the CO standard. Main recommendations include: apply the object-oriented paradigm, take advantage of the distributed software component based approach, use the UML notation and the middleware technology.
  Migration Methodology Handbook (108 KB)
Gives a strategy and technical advices on migration of legacy systems and software towards CO compliance and component based architecture. Reports on several examples implemented as proofs of concept for the proposed migration strategy.
Integration Report (423 KB)
Presents the validation program essential to demonstrate that CAPE-OPEN is a workable standard. This program achieves two primary objectives: first verify that the defined interfaces are capable of transmitting all the information necessary to perform a correct simulation, secondly verify that the standard interfaces are unambiguously defined and evolutive.
 Path Recommendations (361.1 KB)
Explores conceptual and technical research issues related to process simulation and the use of software components. A prototypical simulation environment is described to demonstrate the ideas. Integration with various CO compliant prototypes is discussed.
