22 NOVEMBER 2017

The Methods & Tools Special Interest Group met on November 22, 2017 at 5 pm Central European Time till 6:30 pm.

Agenda

Progress of COBIA Phase II

Participants

Bill BARRETT (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency), Jasper van BATEN (AmsterCHEM), Michael HLAVINKA (Bryan Research & Engineering), Michel PONS (CO-LaN)

Summary

The meeting focused on the revision of the Parameter Common interface specification in order to integrate it in COBIA. The most basic requirements were developed including that a Parameter value must be strongly typed using one of the CAPE-OPEN defined data types.The rationale behind this requirement is that strong data types provide for more efficient and less error prone development.

Next conference is called for November 29, 2017.
