The Common Component Architecture is a standard for Component-based software engineering used in high-performance (also known as scientific) computing. The designers of the Common Component Architecture are the members of the Common Component Architecture Forum. Features of the Common Component Architecture that distinguish it from commercial component standards (CORBA, Enterprise Java Beans) include support for FORTRAN programmers, multi-dimensional data arrays, exotic hardware and operating systems, and a variety of network data transports not typically suited for wide area networks.
