The discussion groups are a forum where members will engage each other in the realm of ideas. Out of this spirited parley will emerge the themes and tasks central to the success of establishing our profession. The experience and erudition of our members is needed to establish the architectural role, promote educational change, structure our organization, and assist clients, architects, schools and architectural practices across the bridge to this new software construction paradigm. |

Client
Needs - An arena for clients of software architects to share their software
construction dilemmas, challenges, requirements, and solutions. A support group, if you
will, for Third Wave clients forced to endure a Second Wave world. Education - Educators and students
discuss a degree program for software architects. What would a course catalog include?
Technology? Business? Aesthetics? Design Studio? What type of student would this attract?
What is the nexus with Computer Science? How do we get there and what do we do in the
interim?The Role of the Software
Architect - Software architects will collaborate to define the processes, services,
and scope of our profession.The Software Architecture
Profession - A discourse on what constitutes our profession including a code of
ethics, competencies, specialization, and the question of certification.Software Construction
-
This group will focus attention on the roles of other professionals involved with software
construction projects and how they, and the projects, will be affected by a true
architectural process. The Structure of a
Practice - The questions at hand will be: Where do software architects work? How are
those firms structured? How do those organizations and roles change in this new software
construction paradigm? Architect-to-Architect
- This
is an area for software architects to discuss non-
topics. Discuss architecture, tools, modeling or ask for help. Architectural Modeling
- Software
architects need to be able to specify blueprints for software architectures that are
comparable in precision and quality to those used for building architectures. This
discussion group is concerned with all aspects of modeling software architectures,
including architecture description languages, techniques, tools and processes. The
Organization - This group will work on the structure and services of
. The issue of worldwide, regional, and
campus offices and chapters will be studied. The content and logistics of conferences,
seminars, and discussion groups will be another topic of this group.There are also topics on the practice of software architecture such as enterprise architecture, domain architecture, technical architecture, methodology, modeling, and more. If you would like to add a new discussion group, please send a note to the Discussion Group Coordinator.
