CO-LaN is conducting interoperability tests between software products implementing CAPE-OPEN interfaces. These tests are performed on computers owned by CO-LaN. Software vendors provide CO-LaN with free-of-charge licenses and in return receive reports on the tests performed, enabling them to improve if needed their implementation of CAPE-OPEN interfaces.

In order to let CO-LaN conduct more interoperability tests, Process Systems Enterprise has provided CO-LaN with an additional license of gPROMS and gO:CAPE-OPEN. This arrangement is valid till December 31, 2008. CO-LaN thanks Process Systems Enterprise for this.
