Conclusions and perspectives

�� CAPECAPE--OPEN technology is no more difficult to use than OPEN technology is no more difficult to use than

generic process simulation functionalitygeneric process simulation functionality

�� Software components developed to be used in one Software components developed to be used in one

simulator may be easily reused in another simulatorsimulator may be easily reused in another simulator

�� Implementation of CAPEImplementation of CAPE--OPEN interfaces in major OPEN interfaces in major

simulators has much progressed but contains still simulators has much progressed but contains still

some defects:some defects:

�� If you intend to make use of CAPEIf you intend to make use of CAPE--OPEN, press your OPEN, press your

favorite process simulation tool supplier so that the favorite process simulation tool supplier so that the

remaining defects are resolved quicklyremaining defects are resolved quickly
