The OASIS work on SCA is kicking off

The OASIS work on SCA, OpenCSA, is kicking off after the move from OSOA.

OASIS has issued a "Call for Participation" for six technical committees, (there's a summary at XML Cover Pages), and there's a free plenary session on the 18 - 20 September 2007.

Anyone interested in SCA can participate at OASIS technical committees. To do this you need to get an OASIS logonid and then join any technical committees you're interested in. Here's a list of the technical committees:

SCA Assembly
SCA Policy
SCA Bindings
SCA Java
SCA BPEL
SCA C++
