Subject: RTES Forum Scheduled Web Conference

Hello RTES Forum Members,

The Open Group's Real-Time and Embedded Systems Forum (RTES Forum) 
will be hosting a web conference for all Forum members on Wednesday, 
September 30th so reserve the date!

The web conference will be a half-day session highlighting two of the 
RTES Forum's major deliverables:

1) A "Pocket Guide to Open Systems Architecture", a project 
spearheaded by Edwin Lee, of Raytheon and Glen Logan of AMERICAN 
SYSTEMS.  Edwin will present an overview of the work, which is 
intended to be an executive level guide for Government and Industry 
that describes the taxonomy, principals, terminology, and current 
initiatives related to the open systems architecture landscape.  The 
presentation will be followed by a facilitated discussion for 
participants to provide feedback or additional information that 
could/should be included in the Guide. We intend to distribute a 
DRAFT Version a week prior to the web conference so that participants 
can come prepared for discussion.

2) A "Strategy for Extending The Open Group Architecture Framework 
(TOGAF)", is intended to provide an end-to-end approach to extend 
enterprise architecture concepts and practices to the platform and 
real-time and embedded systems environments.  Ed Roberts, from 
Elparazim, will present some of the challenges as well as proposed 
next steps for moving that effort forward.  Ed's presentation will be 
followed by discussion and feedback on the strategy and the next 
steps, with the objective of arriving at a set of milestones and a 
timeline for execution.

There will also be a status update on other RTES Forum work and 
upcoming meetings and a discussion of objectives for 2010 from Joe 
Bergmann, Glen Logan, and Sally Long.

Please join us for this web conference for a fresh look at what is 
currently happening in the RTES Forum and for a chance to participate 
in shaping the objectives for the future!

Feel free to invite other colleagues in your organization who may 
also be interested in this work.
