Software Engineering Institute

In 2013, the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) Architecture Technology User Network (SATURN) Conference celebrates its 9th year. Each year, SATURN attracts an international audience of practicing software architects, industry thought leaders, developers, technical managers, and researchers to share ideas, insights, and experience about effective architecture-centric practices for developing and maintaining software-intensive systems.
