John A. Zachman to Keynote at SATURN 2009

John A. Zachman is the originator of the Framework for Enterprise Architecture that received broad acceptance around the world as a "periodic table" of enterprise models. He is also known for his early contributions to IBM's information strategy methodology (Business Systems Planning) and executive team planning techniques (Intensive Planning). John is now the chief executive officer of his own education and consulting business, Zachman International. In addition, he is chairman of the board of Zachman Framework Associates, a worldwide consortium managing conformance to The Zachman Framework™ principles, and chief executive officer of the Zachman Institute for Framework Advancement (ZIFA), an organization dedicated to advancing the conceptual and implementation states of the art in enterprise architecture.

It's no secret that systems are growing in complexity. But what isn't as commonly known is that as they expand, architecture becomes even more crucial. Think about it. Solid architecture prevents defects and system failures. It saves money and gets quality products to the market faster.

The SEI Architecture Technology User Network (SATURN) Conference is held every year to bring together experts from around the world to exchange best architecture-centric practices in developing, acquiring, and maintaining software-intensive systems. Architects at all levels meet to share ideas and lessons learned, network, and learn about new and existing technologies.

Previous SATURN Conferences have featured keynotes, presentations, and tutorials on how SEI technologies and other architecture tools and practices are used to control key product qualities such as reliability, security, modifiability, performance, and affordability. SATURN 2009 is expanding to cover architecture ranging from enterprise to system and software architectures. To reflect this expansion, the theme of the SATURN 2009 Conference is “architecture at all scales.”

If you're an architecture professional, don't miss this opportunity to share, network, and learn. Register for SATURN 2009 today at http://www.sei.cmu.edu/architecture/saturn/2009/.
