While I am talking about presentations - if you live in Israel and want to learn about software architecture I recommend you check out the seminar that Rick Kazman will be giving on Dec. 15th and Dec. 16th.

Rick was a researcher in SEI is a co-author of "Software Architecture in Practice"  (probably the best book on software architecture until "Software Systems Architecture" dethroned it, but I digress) and one of the people responsible for "Architecture Tradeoff Analysis Method" -  ATAM (you can see my presentation on ATAM for an intro)
While I expect the seminar to be on the "process heavy" side (after all ATAM is heavy not to mention that SEI also brought us CMMI) it is probably the best architecture training you can get in Israel (Well, at least until I'd find the time to make my architecture training program into a reality ;)) In any event SEI's work on quality attributes provides, in my opinion, one of the most important tools for architects to capture and understand architectural requirement and the section on that is a reason enough to attend.

By the way, this seminar is organized by ILTAM, which is an organization that doesn't have much to do with software. Also judging the attendance in past events, seems to be little known organization. Yet, over the years, they've managed to bring here some of the best minds in the software field e.g. Ivar Jacobson, Jim Coplien, Don Ferguson,  Phillippe Krutchen and now Rick Kazman
