SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 09, 2006 – The Open Group, a vendor-
and technology-neutral consortium focused on open standards
and global interoperability within and between enterprises,
today announced the agenda for the Enterprise Architecture
Practitioners Conference (formerly IT Architecture Practitioners
Conference), to be held October 23 - 26 at the Corinthia

architecture practitioners to examine a wide variety of topics
which are impacting the profession. These include service-oriented
architecture (SOA), agent technologies, aligning enterprise

topics with a focus on the use of enterprise architecture
for the effective support of business innovation and the
creation of real business value.
