System Engineering Supporting Digital Co-creation

摘要

All kinds of things are becoming digitalized, and the world of Digital Co-creation that combines these things to create new businesses is expanding.For companies to survive and grow their business in this world, they must create value by presenting their strengths to other companies in the form of application programming interfaces (APIs) and at the same time make use of other companies’ strengths by way of APIs.This requires engineering technology for quick and reliable system development/operation centered on APIs.Fujitsu Laboratories calls the technical field in which this is achieved API-Publish amp; Compose.The Laboratories engages in research and development of system analysis technology for the purpose of making APIs of a company’s particular strengths extracted from existing complex systems.We are also working on development and operation technology for quick and safe systematization of businesses using APIs offered by other companies.This paper describes the activities of Fujitsu Laboratories with regard to technologies required by both API providers and API users, and application examples.
