For those who were not there

[colancto]

The CAPE-OPEN 2012 Annual Meeting was held on two days mid-September 2012 in Lyon, France.

Especially for those who had not the opportunity to attend the meeting, please note that most of what was presented is . Don't hesitate to ask for additional details to the presenters.

You will see a number of important announcements like PetroSim (KBC Advanced Technologies) and PRO/II (Invensys) supporting both a socket for Thermo 1.1 components. Also an interesting demo on implementation of PetroFrac interfaces. Additionally it was for example finally possible to have a look at the DESULFO+ components by IFPEN and TOTAL. Believe me that it required a lot of persuasion to get this one as a presentation and it was worth it.

Even if some Annual Meetings were slightly more attended, I have the impression that it was a good meeting with lot of interactions between participants. It showed further progress in implementations of CAPE-OPEN interfaces as well as in the design of CAPE-OPEN interfaces (expect soon a number of Errata and Clarifications documents to help you further implementing correctly the CAPE-OPEN interfaces). In that respect the face-to-face Thermo SIG meeting was very productive on Sep 20 afternoon.
