The Methods & Tools Special Interest Group met from 5 pm till 6 pm Central European Time.
Attendees:
- Bill BARRETT (U.S. EPA),
- Jasper van BATEN (AmsterCHEM),
- Michael HLAVINKA (Bryan Research & Engineering),
- Michel PONS (CO-LaN).
Outcome: discussed the need for a requirement so that a Flowsheet Monitoring Component gets the list of event notifications supported by a PME. The need is considered sufficient and an additional method is designed to query for that list. This method signature was sketched. Designed also the method for a Flowsheet Monitoring Component to register for a given event. Proposal for a method to let a Flowsheet Monitoring Component un-register from an event notification. The Flowsheet Monitoring interface specification document was moved to version 1.23 and made available on the repository of the CAPE-OPEN IDL project.
Contact Bill BARRETT (representative of US Environmental Protection Agency, leader of the Methods & Tools Special Interest Group) should you wish to join the Methods & Tools Special Interest Group. Its charter is: “Improve integration, and expand utilization of Computer-Aided Process Engineering (CAPE) applications within the enterprise through identification and resolution of existing cross-cutting issues with the CAPE-OPEN platform, develop mechanisms for use of CAPE within other application domains, and incorporate advances in information technology into the CAPE-OPEN platform.”
