We present the architecture and application of VGE-CCA, a distributed component framework that is layered atop a Web service based Grid environment. The framework implements the CCA component model and utilizes the Vienna Grid Environment (VGE) as underlying middleware. In this paper, we introduce the concept of application specific component libraries that can be easily plugged into the container. Moreover, we report work on coupling distributed and concurrently running application components that are dynamically assembled and executed as single application composites by clients. For co-scheduling the various application components, the system makes use of advance resource reservation as provided by the VGE QoS module. Furthermore, we discuss the component and composition model as well as its application to a service-oriented architecture.
