System Architecture Study Group (SASG)

The system architecture study group (SASG) is an active group of over 200 system architects from multiple companies. Members exchange their experiences during regular meetings on system/software architecture. Goal is to share knowledge and best practices in system/software architecture knowledge between the members (in particular for embedded systems and software or technology intensive system) and to provide a platform for individual contacts between the members. The meetings are highly interactive and call upon everyone's experience, expertise, education etc.

The goal is to share knowledge and best practices in system/ software architecture knowledge for, in particular, embedded systems and software or technology intensive systems and to provide a platform for individual contacts between the members. Meetings are interactive and call upon everyone's experience, expertise, education etc.

• Meetings are organised three times a year, sometimes in collaboration with other parties.
• Full day meetings: 09:00 - 17:00.
• A typical meeting agenda:
  - morning: 2 seed presentations, discussions in small groups, plenary feedback session
  - afternoon: 2 seed presentations, discussions in small groups, plenary feedback session, company tour
• Members act as local hosts, so meeting locations vary
• Roughly one month before the meeting all members receive an invitation. Those who want to attend have to sign up for the meeting.
• To ensure that the meetings can be highly interactive, the maximum number of attendees per meeting is set to ca. 35.
• In case of over-application, the SASG steering committee determines a fair representation for each company (where the 'first come, first served' principle is used per organisation).

If you are professionally active in the field of system architecture (in the embedded systems domain) and willing to share your knowledge in an active setting, please send a resume/CV and a short motivation letter (why you want to participate and what your contribution will be) and – if possible – a reference.
