Software Engineering Institute Hosts Free Software Architecture Virtual Event
PITTSBURGH, Feb. 7, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The Carnegie Mellon Software Engineering Institute (SEI) will host "Architecting Software the SEI Way: Essential Steps Toward Mastery," a free virtual event on Tuesday, February 28, from 1 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. (ET). For nearly two decades, the SEI has been instrumental in the creation and development of the field of software engineering known as software architecture. The software architecture of a program or computing system is a depiction of the system that fosters understanding of how the system will behave.
This virtual event will provide software and systems practitioners the tools and information they need to use architecture practices more effectively and to build better systems more efficiently and productively. The event offers something for everyone in the field, from those who produce robust software architectures to those who view software architecture as a critical element in their business or organizational missions.
SEI researchers Rob Wojcik, Felix Bachmann, and John Klein, leading problem solvers and innovators in evaluating and improving software architecture, will share their knowledge and insights in software and systems architecture. Their work is informed by years of professional and research experience. This three-hour live webcast will cover
-- Fundamentals: Discover the nature of software architecture in terms of
architectural structures, the role that software architecture plays in
an organization, the role of quality attribute requirements in
architectural design, and the technical, business, and social influences
on software architectures.
-- Improved Practice: Explore how to conduct a software evaluation using
the SEI's Architecture Tradeoff Analysis Method (ATAM). Learn how to
integrate ATAM architecture-evaluation techniques into the architecture
design process to ensure the creation of successful systems.
-- Bridging Technical and Business Goals: Review the SEI perspective on
architecture-centric engineering and understand how that approach scales
from its original software context through systems and systems of
systems. Discuss SEI methods applicable to systems and systems of
systems, and learn how those methods can be extended to apply to
enterprise architectures.
