A component-based beam dynamics application for modeling collective effects in particle accelerators has been developed. The Common Component Architecture (CCA) software infrastructure was used to compose a new Python-steered accelerator simulation from a set of services provided by two separate beam dynamics packages (Synergia and MaryLie/Impact) and two high-performance computer science packages (PETSc and FFTW). The development of the proof-of-concept application was accomplished via the following tasks:

addressing multilanguage interoperability in the MaryLie/Impact code with Babel;
creating components by making the selected software objects adhere to the Common Component Architecture protocol;
assemblying the components with a newly developed, Component Builder gui; and
characterizing the performance of the space charge (Poisson) solver that was originally used in Synergia 1.0 versus the PETSc-based space charge solver that has been developed for Synergia2.

The resulting beam dynamics application will allow the Synergia2 framework to evolve simultaneously with the modeling and simulation requirements of the International Linear Collider.
