Common Component Architecture
The Common Component Architecture ( CCA ) is a specification for a component model that is intended for use in scientific computing .
Initiators
The CCA forum was founded by a group of American scientists and academic institutions and aims to define a common platform for component-based software development in the context of scientific computing , in particular distributed computing . The aim is to make the advantages of component-based software development ( CBSE ) available to the scientific community.
particularities
Scientific computing places special demands on a component model . Programs must e.g. B. can be assembled from components without speed disadvantages. In addition, only implementations that are easy to understand come into question, since natural scientists usually specialize in a field in which computer science is seen as a means to an end.
