"Our implementation of the property system prototype handles distributed GUI and server objects in a network client-server environment," Mike White, senior architect in AspenTech's software engineering and technology department, explained."The component approach used is consistent with our new component architecture for Plantelligence."

AspenTech's prototype implements PROPERTIES PLUS®, AspenTech's physical property system, as a stand-alone property server component.Both OLE/COM and CORBA interfaces are exposed to enable plug-and-play use of the PROPERTIES PLUS package in process simulators or other applications, such as spreadsheets.OLE/COM and CORBA interfaces are also provided for including CAPE-OPEN standard external property models in the property package.
