The aim of this short talk is to present the SCA Composite Designer, a new sub component of the Eclipse STP project. This GMF modeler makes easy and fast the construction of SCA artifacts at the level of composite. Through a concrete example, we will show you two ways to use this tool:
- top-down manner: (1) defining the services/references and properties for the composite, (2) breaking down the composite into individual components and wires between them, and (3) recursively breaking down each component.
- bottom-up manner: (1) selecting a set of existing component implementations for building the new composite, (2) configuring the component properties, (3) drawing internal wires, and (4) configuring external services/references.

Since April 2007, Stéphane Drapeau is R&D engineer at Obeo Company. He works on the SCOrWare project (funded by the French National Research Agency), which aims to provide a free software implementation of the recent SCA specification through the component-based world of OW2. He leads the work package on tools to assist the design and development of applications conforming to the SCA specification. He leads also the SCA Composite Designer sub project of the Eclipse STP project and is member of the board of directors of OW2. From 2004 to the beginning of 2007 he was partner and R&D engineer in the UbiStorage Company that proposes a peer-to-peer based solution to store data safely. He was in charge of the design and development of the storage service. Stéphane Drapeau received his PhD in computer science from the Grenoble Institute of Technology (INPG). His dissertation focused on the definition and development of an adaptable framework for replication services. He made his research at France Télécom R&D and LSR laboratory of the IMAG Institute.
