Service Component Architecture

Service Component Architecture (SCA) is a way of designing computer programs so that they are made up of many different small parts, or components. It makes it easier to build large, complex computer programs.

Think of it like a building. Buildings are made up of many different pieces like walls, windows, and doors. You can use SCA to "build" a program, just like you'd build a building. You can break the program down into pieces, like the pieces of a building, and then put them all together. This makes it much easier for the people who make the program, because they don't have to worry about making one huge, complicated thing - just a bunch of small, simple pieces.
