While these events were targeted mostly at the CO-LaN membership, non-member organizations were also welcome at the Showcase and Workshop: Akzo Nobel Chemicals, Linde, Michael Wulkow CiT, RHODIA, SASOL sent attendees. This event was attended by more than 60 participants including representatives from CO-LaN members such as AmsterCHEM, Aspentech, BASF, BP, Belsim, Cosmologic GmbH, DECHEMA e.V., DTU-IVCSEP, Halias Technologies, HTRI, IFP, Infochem Computer Services Ltd., INPT-ENSIACET, Invensys-SimSci, Kongsberg Maritime AS, Max Planck Institute – Magdeburg, Process Systems Enterprise Ltd., ProSim SA, Shell Global Solutions, SHMA Ltd., SINTEF, Technische Universität Hamburg-Harburg, The Dow Chemical Company, TOTAL, TUV NEL Ltd., University of Trieste, US Environmental Protection Agency and Virtual Materials Group.
It comprised a short formal report on CO-LaN activities as well as an Interoperability Showcase and an Interoperability Workshop. The Showcase was made of a number of presentations showing recent developments in CAPE-OPEN technology implementation and usage. In the Workshop, developers of software involving CAPE-OPEN technology interacted to resolve any interoperability issues they had. The agenda was the following:
