The CAPE-OPEN 2019 Annual Meeting is organized on October 22 and October 23, 2019 at Shell Technology Centre Amsterdam (STCA), home to around 1000 employees – technologists, researchers, engineers, lab assistants, consultants and others. CO-LaN Management Board thanks Shell for making available the meeting space necessary for the meeting. This meeting is one of a long list of similar events such as the ones held at Linde in 2016, at BP in 2017 and at BASF in 2018. CAPE-OPEN Annual Meetings provide a unique opportunity to discuss and exchange about CAPE-OPEN. Everyone is welcome.

Participants have enjoyed a large set of varied presentations, lively discussions and have left the meeting with new ideas on how to make use of CAPE-OPEN. Professor MÖLLER who came for the second time to a CAPE-OPEN Annual Meeting while having used CAPE-OPEN for a number of years in teaching and research at University of Cape Town stated “The Amsterdam meeting was excellent. I will follow up with ideas that were suggested with a number of people.”.

Presentations are discussing use of CAPE-OPEN, both in software development and software usage, needs to be met by CAPE-OPEN, both in terms of specifications and implementations.
