Anthony J. Lattanze is a senior member of the technical staff at the Software Engineering Institute (SEI), and an Associate Teaching Professor at the Institute for Software Research International (ISRI) at Carnegie Mellon University. Mr. Lattanze has been involved in research in the area of software architecture; particularly in the development of methods and techniques for defining, documenting, and evaluating software architectures. Anthony has applied the work in variety of industrial domains including.  

·         Automotive – design and evaluation of embedded motor control systems

·         Aerospace – design and evaluation of avionics systems

·         Military – evaluation of theater ballistic missile system simulations

·         Space – evaluation of space vehicle tracking systems

·         Banking and Insurance – evaluation of account management systems

·         Web – design and evaluation of n-tiered, J2EE, and .NET oriented applications

Anthony currently teaches courses at Carnegie Mellon University in the Masters of Software Engineering Program. Courses he teaches include: Software Architectures, Real-Time/Embedded Systems, Software Project Management, and Software Studio. Anthony also consults and teaches throughout industry in the areas of software architecture design and architecture evaluation.

Prior to Carnegie Mellon, Mr. Lattanze was the Chief of Software Engineering for the Technology Development Group at the United States Flight Test Center at Edwards Air Force Base, CA.  During his 15 year tenure at the Flight Test Center, he was involved with a number of software and systems engineering projects as a software and systems architect, designer, project manager, and developer. He acquired extensive software engineering expertise during this time as he was involved with the development, test, and evaluation of the B-2 Stealth Bomber, Sidewinder Missile Upgrade, F-22 Advanced Tactical Fighter, and the Air Borne Laser.

Anthony began his career as a mainframe computer electronics technician in the United State Air Force where he also developed diagnostic software for field deployable command and control computer systems.
