Free, On-demand Webinar
This free, on-demand webinar from the Software Engineering Institute (SEI)—Architecting in a Complex World—provides insight into architecture-centric engineering practices that reduce uncertainty in development.
In this webinar, SEI experts go in depth
into 3 keys to succeed with development
in the midst of complexity:
Linda Northrop, Director,
Research, Technology, and System Solutions Program (RTSS)

Rob Wojcik, Senior Researcher,
Research, Technology, and System Solutions Program
Eliciting and Specifying Quality Attribute Requirements
At the SEI, Rob Wojcik performs training and consulting in software architecture technology and software architecture evaluations.
Ipek Ozkaya, Senior Researcher,
Research, Technology, and System Solutions Program
Achieving Agility and Stability in Large-Scale Software Development
Ipek Ozkaya is a senior member of the technical staff in the Research, Technology, and System Solutions Program at the SEI. She is currently engaged in activities focusing on large scale agile and architecture and works to develop, apply, and communicate effective methods to improve software development efficiency. She is a frequent presenter at academic and industry conferences, and co-author of several articles on subjects including Agile architecting and architectural technical debt. Ozkaya serves as the chair of the advisory board of the IEEE Software magazine and is also a member of the technical faculty for the Master of Software Engineering Program at Carnegie Mellon University.
Mike Gagliardi, Senior Researcher,
Research, Technology, and System Solutions Program
Uncovering Architectural Challenges in a System of Systems
Michael Gagliardi has more than 25 years of experience in real-time, mission-critical software architecture and engineering activities on a variety of Department of Defense (DoD) systems. His current work involves the development of architecture evaluation methods for system-of-systems architectures and system architectures.
Linda has more than 35 years of experience in the software development field as a practitioner, researcher, manager, consultant, and educator. At the SEI, she leads the work in architecture-centric engineering, software product lines, system-of-systems practice, and ultra-large-scale systems research. Under her leadership, the SEI has developed software architecture and product line methods that are used worldwide, a series of five highly acclaimed books, and software architecture and software product line curricula that include 11 courses and 6 certificate programs.
