Live Webinar January 16th, 2013 1:00 pm – 4:00 pm EST
Duration: 3 Hours Credits: Up to 3 PDU Category C Free
Presented by: Software Engineering Institute Carnegie Mellon
Note: This seminar consists of 4 presentations

For almost two decades, the SEI has been instrumental in the creation and development of the field of software engineering known as software architecture.

This virtual event summarizes current SEI work in architecture-centric engineering: from the basic tenets of software architecture to methods and practices for responding to increasing demands for speed, agility, system integration, and escalating scale.

Opening Keynote – Architecting in a Complex World
1:00 -1:20 pm EST

Presenter: Linda Northrop (LinkedIn profile) has more than 35 years of experience in the software development field as a practitioner, researcher, manager, consultant, and educator. She is currently director of the Research, Technology and System Solutions Program at the SEI where she leads the work in architecture-centric engineering, software product lines, system-of-systems practice , and ultra-large-scale systems research. Under her leadership, the SEI has developed software architecture and product line methods that are used worldwide, a series of five highly acclaimed books, and software architecture and software product line curricula that include 11 courses and 6 certificate programs.

Eliciting and Specifying Quality Attribute Requirements
1:20 – 2:05 pm EST

Presenter: Rob Wojcik is a senior member of the technical staff in the Research, Technology, and System Solutions Program at the Carnegie Mellon University’s Software Engineering Institute (SEI), a position he has held since 2004.
