The document discusses several standards from the Object Management Group (OMG) that can help modernize the Service Component Architecture (SCA). Upcoming standards include IDL4, which will provide a logical grouping of IDL constructs into building blocks and integrate with DDS extensions, and the Unified Component Model (UCM), which defines interaction patterns and connector fragments for distributed systems. Available standards mentioned are the IDL to C++11 mapping, which simplifies the IDL to C++ mapping, and CORBA IDL. These standards could help simplify SCA through reduced complexity and improved language mappings.
