I. Program Name: Cloud Service Trend Program (hereinafter referred to as "the Program").
II. Purpose: In April 2010, under the facilitation of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, the "Taiwan Cloud Computing Industry Alliance" was established. Founding members included the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), the Institute for Information Industry (III), the Taiwan Electrical and Electronic Manufacturers' Association (TEEMA), the Information Service Industry Association of R.O.C., and Chunghwa Telecom, alongside more than 50 other domestic ICT and service-sector enterprises. This milestone marked 2010 as the inaugural year of cloud computing in Taiwan. More importantly, it demonstrated that cloud computing is not merely a theoretical concept but a practical reality, propelling the IT industry toward a new milestone. As the IT sector is a vital pillar of Taiwan’s economy, this collaborative initiative—spanning industry, government, and academia—has spurred a growing demand for cloud-proficient talent. To ensure that students at Fu Jen Catholic University stay abreast of the latest trends and to cultivate professionals who meet industry requirements, this Program has been established and is open to all students across the university. The Program aims to develop specialized talent in cloud computing, preparing students for the following two professional roles. Through hands-on experience with a "Cloud Internship" platform, students gain practical exposure to these roles; upon graduation, they emerge as management consultants with a strong R&D background, capable of rapidly resolving client issues related to cloud-based SaaS (Software as a Service) applications.
1. Business Process (BP) Analysis: Leveraging management expertise and an understanding of user requirements, professionals in this role utilize the 5,000+ services available within a cloud-based SOA-ERP (Service-Oriented Architecture Enterprise Resource Planning) system to help users analyze and identify optimal business processes.
2. Application (AP) Design: Utilizing information technology, professionals in this role employ Cloud Application Platforms (CAP) and Cloud Service Software Factories to design programs, develop new services and applications, and implement the business processes required by users. (Note: Both CAP and SOA-ERP are composed entirely of Java-based open-source software. They are not tied to any specific vendor, and a wealth of technical documentation is available online, making them well-suited for use as teaching tools in an academic setting. CAP refers to "Elaster CAP," a product of Tengyun Company, while SOA-ERP is a product of Baosheng Company.)
