System Architecture Forum

 


 

Participants

The forum is initially aiming for participation from 8-12 organizations (or subdivisions thereof) that consider themselves non-competing to the extent that it will not impede an open and constructive exchange of experiences and ideas.

The participating organizations shall have identified the value of systems architecting and have a clear intent to improve their practices in this area.

The participating individuals shall be actively practicing, experienced architects at a system/product level or business/enterprise level.

In addition to corporate representatives, the participating research institutions, The Embedded Systems Institute (ESI) and Stevens Institute of Technology (SIT), will participate with research fellows for facilitation and knowledge capture.
