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.

Each year the SEI sponsors the SATURN software architecture conference, to be held in 2013 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, April 29 through May 3.

SATURN connects architecture practitioners to

• share ways to effectively develop or acquire software and systems architecture

• enhance their skills in the development, documentation, and evaluation of software and systems architecture

• build the community's knowledge of software and systems architecture

• find solutions, service providers, training, partners and more to help their organizations

• stay current with the latest SEI architecture technologies

• meet with other software, systems, and enterprise architecture professionals at the annual SATURN Conference

SATURN Technology

Using effective software and systems architecture practices across the life cycle allows architects to control key product qualities such as reliability, security, modifiability, performance, and affordability.  SEI architecture technologies are proven methods and techniques designed to create, document, evaluate, and reconstruct architectures.  Learn about our current research, tools, and methods, and how the SEI can help your organization at the SEI architecture website.
