ARCHITECTING FOR CHANGE
7 Things You Need to Know About the Next 7 Years in Architecture
Requirements change. Organizations change. Technology changes. Infrastructure changes. People and personnel change. The world changes.
Organizations need their systems to be able to adapt to change while continuing to meet business and mission goals.
The theme for SATURN 2011 is “Architecting for Change,” and in celebration of that theme, the conference will focus on “7 Things You Need
to Know About the Next 7 Years in Architecture.”

ABOUT SATURN 2011 AND
As systems grow in complexity, architecture’s role becomes increasingly important at the enterprise,
systems, and software levels. Architecture practitioners rely on best practices and technology to build
predictable, high-quality systems. To promote sharing of architecture advances, the SEI Architecture
Technology User Network (SATURN) was formed in 2005.
The SATURN Conference is held every year to bring together experts from around the world to exchange
architecture-centric best practices to develop, acquire, and maintain software-reliant systems. This is the
event where architecture professionals meet to share, network, and learn.
The annual SATURN Conference reflects the network’s vision, connecting architecture practitioners to
•
share best practices in developing and acquiring predictable, high-quality architectures
•
network with colleagues and SEI experts
•
fi nd potential solutions, service providers, training, partners, and more to help their organizations use
effective architecture practices across the life cycle
•
stay current with the latest SEI architecture technologies
•
meet and learn from other architecture professionals
The SEI Architecture Technology User Network has flourished since its formation, expanding in the breadth
of topics explored, and now boasts more than 1000 members on LinkedIn, as well as a vibrant online
presence through our SATURN Network blog.
By becoming a sponsor for SATURN 2011, you will promote the goals of both the conference and the
Network, and help advance the state of the art in architecture practices.
