OREANDA-NEWS. February 29, 2012. Fujitsu Laboratories Limited today announced that it has developed mining technology that automatically identifies feature components from complex, large-scale enterprise applications. The identified components embody a specific feature or role in business. Based on these components, another new technology automatically generates software maps to visualize feature-based application structures.

This technology makes it possible to automatically identify feature components within an application portfolio. This results in a city map model that offers an intuitive understanding of this structural information, while also displaying various types of statistical information.

The use of these maps reduces the time required to analyze the present state of enterprise applications for quick enhancements to keep pace with business changes. In migrating applications to the cloud, for example, it enables the time required for initial analysis to be cut roughly in half, broadening the potential for effective IT approaches.
