 h1. Service Component Architecture
  
  [Service Component Architecture|http://www.osoa.org/display/Main/Service+Component+Architecture+Home] (SCA) is a programming model for SOA. It composes applications as services. SCA can be implemented in a variery of languages; SCAs implemented in different languages and running on different platforms can still interoperate as long as they use the same service interface. It is being standardized by the [Open Service-Oriented Architecture].
  [Service Component Architecture|http://www.osoa.org/display/Main/Service+Component+Architecture+Home] (SCA) is a programming model for SOA being developed by the [Open Service-Oriented Architecture]. It composes applications as services. SCA can be implemented in a variery of languages; SCAs implemented in different languages and running on different platforms can still interoperate as long as they use the same service interface.
  
 SCA works with [Service Data Objects] (SDO). The parameters and return types in an SCA interface are SDOs.
  
 An early/proprietary version of SCA is built into [WebSphere Process Server]. It is also used in [WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus] to implement mediations.
  
 [Apache Tuscany] is an open-source implementation of SCA and SDO in Java and other languages. It is the basis for the "WAS v6.1 Feature Pack for SOA," on of the [WebSphere Software Early Programs]. For more info about it, see [Overview of SOA Feature Pack for WAS 6.1].
  
 I've discussed SCA on my blog:
 * [Service Component Architecture (SCA)|http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/blogs/page/woolf?entry=service_component_architecture_sca]

 I discuss some of the fundemental value proposition of SCA in [Back to Basics on SOA with Bobby Woolf].
