Service Component Architecture (SCA)

With 17 sponsoring vendors, Service Component Architecture 1.0 (SCA) represents an important set of industry specifications for next-generation service infrastructure. Various OASIS Technical Committees are taking these specifications and evolving them into OASIS standards.

This talk will provide an overview of SCA and how it can be used to develop, configure and deploy service-based applications. The talk will cover the key elements of SCA, including assembly and composition, service authoring, and policy.
