Y2021-26: COBIA / CAPE-OPEN TLB-PIA

11 AUGUST 2021

The Methods & Tools Special Interest Group met today from 5 pm till 6:45 pm Central European Time.

Agenda

Issues discovered in CAPE-OPEN TLB/PIA distribution 2.1.1, review of support tickets pertaining to COBIA Phase II

Participants
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (represented by Bill BARRETT), AmsterCHEM (represented by Jasper van BATEN), Bryan Research & Engineering (represented by Michael HLAVINKA), Michel PONS (contractor to CO-LaN as Chief Technology Officer).

Highlights

In the course of COBIA-based developments, AmsterCHEM identified several minor issues in COBIA code. These issues have been documented in support tickets and resolved. It is assessed that there is no need yet to issue a new release of COBIA Phase II deliverables.

Several issues have been identified in the latest (version 2.1.1) distribution of the CAPE-OPEN Type Libraries / Primary Interop Assemblies. Recommendation is made to create a new release resolving these issues (missing event in Flowsheet Monitoring, uninstallation problems). This recommendation will be discussed with the Interoperability Special Interest Group to figure a way, in terms of budget and resources available, to deliver this new version as soon as possible.
