The Methods & Tools Special Interest Group met on October 18, 2017 from 5 pm till 6:30 pm Central European Time.

Agenda: feedback from CAPE-OPEN 2017 Annual Meeting regarding M&T SIG activities including COBIA

Participants: Bill BARRETT (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency), Jasper van BATEN (AmsterCHEM), Michael HLAVINKA (Bryan Research & Engineering) Michel PONS (CO-LaN)

Outcome: the document on the Threading model was worked upon with the objective to deliver a document suitable for getting feedback from software vendors. Some feedback was gathered at the CAPE-OPEN 2017 Annual Meeting but not enough to support a decision. The document will contain a section outlining the requirements put upon the threading model. The main requirement remains non concurrent access to a PMC. The document will also contain Use Cases and three of them have been listed and somehow outlined. Reviewing and polishing the document is taken off-line as well as review of the Parameters and Persistence proposals.

Next meeting is scheduled for October 27, 2017.
