At ESCAPE-17 (full paper published in Computer Aided Chemical Engineering) he contributed to a paper gathering the work done on the matter: An overview of the interoperability roadmap for COM/.NET-Based CAPE-OPEN.

Together with Jasper van BATEN (AmsterCHEM), Bill BARRETT proposed the initial version of the Flowsheet Monitoring interface specification and shown how it applies to the WAste Reduction algorithm developed at US EPA. Their work was published in 2012 within Chemical Engineering & Technology journal.
