Component-BasedSoftwareEngineering(CBSE)andService- Oriented Architectures (SOA) are among today’s most prominent soft- ware architecture approaches. This article investigates the focus and characteristics of these approaches based on works conducted in the context of France Telecom activities, then it argues towards bringing them together, and sets up some recommendations for their integration. The article reports, assesses and compares two experiments which were conducted in this line with the Fractal component model: the first one is based on the Axis and kSOAP Web Services platforms, and the second one is based on the Tuscany SCA platform.
