SOF

SOF (Service Oriented Framework) provides an OS independent infrastructure for developing component based software. That means, the framework helps developers to build software systems consisting of modules which are communicating, via clearly defined service interfaces, with other modules of the system. Components can be started and stopped at runtime, and the components are notified about the lifecycle of other components, if necessary. It can be chosen whether the components are loaded locally (here, the component code is linked to the class which starts the framework), or loaded dynamically from shared libraries (UNIX) or dynamic link libraries (Windows), for example. SOF is implemented in standard C++, and the SOF API is very similar to the OSGi API (see OSGI).
