It's no secret that systems are growing in complexity. But what isn't as commonly known is that as they expand, architecture becomes even more crucial. Think about it. Solid architecture prevents defects and system failures. It saves money and gets quality products to the market faster.

The SEI Architecture Technology User Network (SATURN) Conference is held every year to bring together experts from around the world to exchange best architecture-centric practices in developing, acquiring, and maintaining software-intensive systems. Architects at all levels meet to share ideas and lessons learned, network, and learn about new and existing technologies.

Previous SATURN Conferences have featured keynotes, presentations, and tutorials on how SEI technologies and other architecture tools and practices are used to control key product qualities such as reliability, security, modifiability, performance, and affordability. SATURN 2009 is expanding to cover architecture ranging from enterprise to system and software architectures. To reflect this expansion, the theme of the SATURN 2009 Conference is “architecture at all scales.”

If you're an architecture professional, don't miss this opportunity to share, network, and learn. Register for SATURN 2009 today.

The Software Engineering Institute (SEI) is a federally funded research and development center sponsored by the U.S. Department of Defense and operated by Carnegie Mellon University.
