They are formed by members through volunteer commitment with the purpose of extending existing disciplines and specializations.

The purpose of the SIG was to create a forum for architects to trade notes on the strengths and weaknesses of different architectures and to keep up on current developments in software architecture.

An added note, the International Association of Software Architects has a chapter in Denver now. For more information, please see the IASA Website.
