Kagawa University-Type Development Model and Its Practice of Information System for Regional Problem Solution by Open Innovation

摘要

Kagawa University has jointly developed a regional problem-solving information system with Ricoh Co., Ltd. These are Advertising Display Printer System (KadaPos), Travel Diary Generation/ Printing System (KaDiary) and Tourist Guidebook Generating/Printing System (KadaPam). These information systems were developed by combining Ricoh's image matching technology and print control technology with the information system development technology of Kagawa University. These systems were developed based on the "Kagawa University-type development model". The model is composed of "extraction of regional problems", "planning solutions for problems", "development of prototype systems to verify solutions" and "demonstration experiments using prototype systems". In this paper, we describe the practice of the "Kagawa University-type development model" in the development processes of KadaPos, KaDiary and KadaPam. The practice of regional problem-solving information system development based on "Kagawa University-type development model" shows that there is a certain effect in the development of regional problem-solving information system and technology verification in enterprises.
