CAPE-OPEN

CAPE-OPEN standards are the uniform standards for interfacing process modelling software components developed specifically for the design and operation of chemical processes. They are based on universally recognized software technologies such as COM and CORBA. CAPE-OPEN standards are open, multi-platform, uniform and available free of charge. They are described in a formal documentation set, available from the CAPE-OPEN Laboratories Network (Co-LaN).

At this point, COCO only supports the COM specification; the CORBA implementation is not (yet) supported.
