The ESCAPE series brings the latest innovations and achievements by leading professionals from the industrial and academic communities. It serves as a forum for engineers, scientists, researchers, managers and students from academia and industry. The National Organizing Committee of ESCAPE 18 had members close to CAPE-OPEN, such as Chairman Bertrand Braunschweig, Stéphane Déchelotte (ProSim SA), Pascal Floquet (ENSIACET) and Philippe Vacher (RSI).
Ray DICKINSON, representing Shell which is acting as President of CO-LaN, gave a lecture on CAPE-OPEN and CO-LaN. A paper by Stalker et al. on Service-oriented CAPE recognizes that CAPE-OPEN has “done much to promote the interoperability of heterogeneous software components for Computer-Aided Process Engineering (CAPE).”
