An example of a distributed SOA architecture based on SCA and OSGi can also be found at www.codecauldron.org, this development supported by Paremus (www.paremus.com); a UK company based in Fleet Street, London.

The goal of the Apache Tuscany project is to create a robust infrastructure for service-based application networks based on the SCA specifications and not just a minimalist reference implementation of them. Although we will follow the specifications as they evolve, the project is also providing support for federated networks, distributed provisioning and management, as well as new component types and transport protocols.

We intend to demonstrate some of these features at The ServerSide Symposium later this month.
