Service Component Architecture Assembly Model 1.0

Service Component Architecture Assembly Model 1.0 defines both a model for assembling tightly coupled and loosely coupled services and a model for applying infrastructure capabilities to services and to service interactions, including security and transactions.

Service Component Architecture (SCA) is a set of specifications that describe a programming model for building applications and solutions based on a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). CICS supports only the SCA Assembly Model specification.

The specification has three parts:

• The first part provides an overview of the SCA Assembly Model.
• The second part describes the core elements of SCA, SCA components, and SCA composites.
• The third part describes how to extend the SCA Assembly Model.
