Development and Runtime Platform and High-speed Processing Technology for Data Utilization

Dramatic increases in computing power and network speed, along with advances in sensing technology, have broadened the range of devices that can connect to the Internet. Large quantities of diverse, time-sequenced data are flowing in from the Web and countless sensors, and there is a strong demand to rapidly and efficiently extract any valuable information from that data and to utilize that data for various types of navigation systems. Fujitsu Laboratories envisions a Human-Centric Intelligent Society and is building a cloud platform to support it. This article introduces an integrated development and runtime platform technology for utilizing large quantities of data, a technology for extracting parallelism from complex event processing as a base technology for high-speed processing, and a distributed-parallel technology for complex event processing and describes the goals, features, and effects of each. It also gives an overview of directions for future technology initiatives.
