The Framework is actually quite big and implements the Model-View-Controller architectural pattern which makes GUI development easier to develop and maintain.
Oracle sets it as "next generation" Web User Interfaces for
- Fusion Applications

In my view within a SOA 5-layering architecture:
- ADF can perfectly be used within the development of the presentation layer.
- The OSB is generally used as an abstraction between all 5 layers. This means that all Services (Task Services, Entity Services and Utility Services) are exposed through OSB
But as I said, I am not an ADF expert, so ADF experts out there, how do you place ADF within your SOA Architecture?
