A Component-Based Reconfigurable Platform for SOA

Service Component Architecture (SCA) is a standard for developing independent technology distributed Service Oriented-Architecture (SOA). SCA standard proposes using components and also architecture descriptors. The standard also covers the life cycle stages of implementation and deployment. One of the SCA problems is that it does not address the SCA application management and support of deployed components. This article covers these subjects and defines a platform for applications that support run-time management and distribution capabilities. Evermore the component-based design of the proposed platform provides a high degree of flexibility and functionality in the platform itself. This platform can be a good context for SOA applications. The results show that in comparison with the architecture of SCA, run-time management of the platform does not have a negative impact on its performance.
