Tool integration via interface standardization?

Integration of tools to build computer-based process engineering environments is essential for improving design processes and for systematically creating design knowledge in an enterprise. This contribution assesses the state of the art in tool integration, puts current standardization efforts into perspective and introduces objectives and first results of three major research projects. In particular, it is pointed out that current standardization efforts are only addressing part of the integration problem.

PRO-ART/CE - an environment for managing the evolution of chemical process simulation models

The lack of adequate support for the development of mathematical process models confines the application of model-based techniques in the design and operation of complex chemical plants. Enabling traceability of models - i.e. the detailed documentation of the process of model development (modeling process) which leads to the model including its modeling decisions and their rationales -provides a solution for overcoming the inherent modeling bottleneck. In our contribution we use a small case study to identify the information to be recorded for enabling traceability. We then present our PRO-ART/CE environment which supports the automated capture and retrieval of this information and therefore significantly facilitates the development of chemical process simulation models.
