What is SATURN?

The SEI Architecture Technology User Network (SATURN) is a professional network of software, systems, and enterprise architects from around the world, representing industry, academia, and government.

SATURN’s purpose is to connect architecture practitioners to 

• share best practices in developing and acquiring software and systems architecture to build predictable, high-quality systems 
• network with colleagues and SEI experts who will help you advance your software and systems architecture knowledge 
• find potential solutions, service providers, training, partners and more to help you and your organization use effective software and systems architecture across the life cycle 
• stay current with the latest SEI architecture technologies 
• meet and learn from other software, systems, and enterprise architecture professionals at the annual SATURN Conference.

SATURN Conference

The annual SATURN Conference brings together experts from around the world to exchange best practices in developing, acquiring, and maintaining software and systems architecture.  This is the yearly event where SATURN members meet to share, network, and learn. The theme of SATURN 2010 is "architecting for change." The conference will focus on architecture methods, techniques, and practices that enable organizations to continue to meet their business and customer goals in the face of persistent change.
