User Network for Software Architecture Technology Is Growing Steadily
In its three-year history, the Software Architecture Technology User Network (SATURN) Workshop series has attracted software and systems engineering practitioners throughout government and industry from all over the world. Because of the workshop’s emphasis on software architecture practices, participant interaction, information exchange, and addressing the needs of practitioners, attendance continues to grow each year.
SATURN 2008, which will take place n Pittsburgh, Pa., from April 28 to May 1, will address:
- architecture-centric system evolution
- evaluating architectures of software-intensive systems
- architecture and technical trends
- improving software architecture practices within an organization
SATURN 2008 is the leading forum for engineers, architects, technical managers, and product managers who work with or have a stake in software architecture practices. The workshop provides a venue for practitioners to reflect on the achievements made, assess the current state of the field, and identify key challenges still facing researchers and practitioners.
