What is Systems Architecture? What is Engineering?
"Architecture" is about far more than aesthetics. Architecture defines all that a system can ever be. By contrast, engineering is generally about how something is constructed. This is far more than a semantic difference. It is a difference in time scale. Engineering errors can often be resolved with local corrections. Architectural errors are far more difficult to resolve and often have global implications. Indeed, an architectural decision can either enable future system flexibility or it can permanently hobble the implementation; with far reaching technical and economic implications.
Our speaker will examine the implications of these differences, with real world examples, and how architectural perspectives can lead to more flexible products with longer life spans, greater evolutionary potential, and lower maintenance costs.
