\section{Introduction}

This lecture is presented at the DoVo\footnote{
{\it Donderdag Ochtend Voordrachten}: Thursday morning presentation.}
lecture series. This lecture series is an ''institute'' within Philips
Research. Three short lectures (20 minutes) per session are used to share
research work between all researchers.
This long history also means that many traditions or rituals are followed,
such as the opening which positions the speaker in the research line
organization. The last section of this article ''CBA'' is also tradition.

The presentation itself focuses on a case, which is used to explain
the contribution of the architect and the tension this causes in an
organisation. Some background material is added about what an architect
looks like and about the relation between architecture and research.

\FigureTextwidth{MSorganisation}{The position within the organisation}

Figure~\ref{fig:MSorganisation} shows the position of the speaker in the
organisation. However in this, somewhat satiric, diagram other (more) important
organisational dimensions are shown:
\settoheight{\myListItemsep}{.}
\begin{myList}
\item program and projects, where a program is result driven
\item LRTO (Long Range Technical Objectives), research wide objective driven
management
\item know how transfer, via the CTT (Centre for Technical Training)
\end{myList}
Another interesting tradition is that groups are more often identified by
the name of the leader than by the technical competence. This emphasis
on the human (leader) contribution is nice.

Recommended literature is the book by Rechtin,
''The Art of Systems Architecting''~\cite{book:TheArtOfSystemsArchitecting}.
