ESCAPE conferences have often mentioned CAPE-OPEN. CAPE-OPEN was first demonstrated live at ESCAPE-9 in May 1999 (Budapest, Hungary) and has been also discussed in several papers presented at other events of the ESCAPE series (see ESCAPE 12, ESCAPE 13 for instance).
ESCAPE 28 gathered several hundred contributions from five continents. Among these contributions, a poster from researchers at University of Surrey makes reference to CAPE-OPEN. The authors propose a new approach for model integration. They build upon the CAPE-OPEN framework and they use ontology to make the model (unit operation, property package) and its data explicit.
CO-LaN welcomes this contribution that recognizes CAPE-OPEN as addressing “the issue of standardisation of interfaces to enable interoperability between simulator software components from different sources“.
