Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

In November 2005, IBM and BEA Systems formed the Open Service Oriented Architecture (OSOA) collaboration, with the intent to define a language-neutral service-oriented architecture (SOA)-centric programming model. Service component architecture (SCA) is a set of specifications that intend to promote interoperability and simplify assembling composite applications. Significant progress has been made on SCA specifications, but development tool and application server support is still evolving and there is limited support by SOA infrastructure vendors. Architects and developers will see milestone releases of tooling and runtimes that support SCA in the first half of 2007 but they should not expect to execute mission-critical projects using SCA compliant tools or runtimes before the end of 2007.
