Impact/Purpose:
To inform the public.
Description:
The CAPE-OPEN middleware standards were created to allow process modeling components (PMCs) developed by third parties to be used in any process modeling environment (PME) utilizing these standards. The CAPE-OPEN middleware specifications were based upon both Microsoft's Component Object Model (COM) and the Object Management Group's (OMG) Common Object Broker Architecture (CORBA). Since the inception of the CAPE-OPEN project, Microsoft updated COM to the .NET Framework. This paper will discuss the implementation of PMCs in .NET and the interoperability issues associated with using COM-based CAPE-OPEN compliant PMCs in a .NET based PME, and the testing of .NET-based unit operations in the CAPE-OPEN Tester.
