APIs are rising. APIs are everywhere, already disrupting industries like telecoms, banking....
However many companies still wonder what Business model they should apply for their API.
This presentation given at APIDays.io in Paris in December 2012 exposes a typology and classification of API business models.

o intuito de eliminar intermédios, fornecendo produtos
de forma direta e colaborativa. A ideia por trás dessas
empresas está alinhada com as expectativas de um
futuro mais preocupado com o meio ambiente e com
hábitos mais sustentáveis junto ao relacionamento
social decorrente da era da internet.
Em seu seminário, Rhuan irá mostrar como essa
prática nos afeta, e quais são suas perspectivas,
estudando também o caso do Uber, atualmente em

Leverage An Intelligent Application Infrastructure for Competitive Advantage.Eric D. Schabell
Realizing the benefits of cloud requires new thinking in how you build and deploy applications and how you architect an intelligent infrastructure to deliver agility, efficiency, and portability across a variety of on-premises, public cloud, and hybrid environments. The requirements range from delivering world-class user experiences across millions of devices, form factors, and client platforms, to collecting data from what analysts refer to as “the internet of things” - billions of connected devices and appliances across globally distributed networks to feed the analysis of big data for better business decisions.
In this session, you'll learn how JBoss is the best choice to future-proof your application and systems infrastructure and take advantage of the latest innovations to deliver an agile, intelligent and integrated enterprise across on-premise and public clouds

Inside mind of a successful platform architect / Gartner APPS 2016 3scale
Enterprise architects are facing new challenges as software becomes central to business to success. The development of a stable internal platform is a key strategy to deliver more, faster. However actually succeeding in platform delivery is it a challenge in itself. In this session we cover three key ways of thinking that help structure that platform journey.
The Fundamentals of Platform Strategy: Creating Genuine Value with APIs3scale

Build and Manage Serverless APIs (APIDays Nordic, May 19th 2016)3scale
Presentation gave by Nicolas Grenié (@picsoung) at APIdays Nordic in Tampere, Finland in 2016
He covered the principles of serverless infrastructure, explaining the pros and cons about it and the different platforms.
He also gave an overview of the Serverless (serverless.com) framework.
APIs and the Bot Revolution (APIDays Nordic, May 18)3scale
3scale's Nicolas presented "APIs and the Bot Revolution" at the APIDays Nordic event on May 18. He covered the importance of making bots smart by using APIs. APIs for bots need specific API design considerations and some different thinking about DX. Bots and APIs have the potential to introduce a paradigm shift about how we interact with technology.
Take Control of your APIs in a Microservice Architecture3scale
Microservices are a new architectural approach to modularize systems into smaller units. The benefits include that services can be adapted more rapidly to changing business demands. Application programming interfaces (APIs) are crucial in every microservice architecture (MSA) as they link up the various microservices. Key challenges of MSA are getting API security, access control and analytics right in an environment that is constantly changing. This workshop talk will show how the features of the 3scale API management platforms in combination with the Red Hat OpenShift PaaS can be leveraged to overcome these challenges.

Keynote at APIDays Melbourne 2016, Steven Willmott - 3scale.
Organizations have recognized that making available IT systems as APIs for both internal and external developers can create huge new opportunities for agility, products and ultimately revenue. However, while this "platform thinking" holds great potential, it can be extremely challenging to determine how to deliver on these opportunities. In this talk we'll look at how focusing on the value APIs can deliver helps underpin genuine success for an API program and an organization's platform initiatives as a whole.
API Model Canvas for successful API strategies and programs3scale
Manfred (@ManfredBo) presented the API Model Canvas at the APIStrat conference on November 20, 2015, in Austin. The API Model Canvas is intended to be used to create and run successful API strategies and programs in a sustainable way.

Building Successful API Programs in Higher Education3scale
In this webinar, hosted on August 27, 2015, Steven Willmott discusses the benefits of API development in higher education.
APIs are not exclusive to for-profit organizations. In higher education—from statewide university and college systems to smaller private institutions—schools like Notre Dame and Brigham Young University have built highly successful API programs.
API Model Canvas (APIDays Mediterranea 2015)3scale
Manfred presented the API Model Canvas at APIDays Mediterranea in Barcelona on May 6, 2015.
Designing and running an API program successfully is difficult and goes far beyond technical challenges. In this talk, he covered several critical elements which make an API program successful -- or not. Examples include: objectives of the API, design, developer experience, partners, resources, cost, or generated value.
He also demonstrated an interactive tool, which supports the thinking process for designing and running successful API programs: the API Model Canvas
GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Tips and tips to avoid pitfalls
Dos Don’ts
① API first, Mobile second, Web third ① API as a “side project”
② Do your homework ② Neglect developers
(Who, What, How)
③ Bad documentation (or inexistent)
③ Start “small” in terms of
functionalities (you can always add ④ Bad sample code/examples (or
but you can never remove) inexistent)
④ Provide a compelling value ① No or unclear Terms &
proposition to drive adoption and Conditions
grow your API ecosystem
⑤ Remain flexible to evolve with the
needs of your user base

These four categories have distinct revenue models. Some APIs combine elements of several classes.
This breakdown is not 100% comprehensive, but many currently public APIs can be classified against it. We use this at 3scale to identify the primary areas of value being created by an API.
Kickapps provides 100% whitelabel social tools/widgets for websites and directly charges partners using it’s service – users of the sites may be unaware that KickApps is in use. Skype enables partners to put “Skype everywhere” (such as on Samsung TVs) but retains brand control and skype users login via third parties.
The twitter API is free to use, benefits accrue to twitter via the content which is uploaded, other indicators have to be used to measure revenue impact. Oodle.com is a large affiliate driven marketplace, the API allows high levels of custom content display on third party sites to drive traffic to Oodle. Note though that twitter also sells access to it’s firehose API – but this isn’t yet the core value of the API.
This category uses the API as a dynamic promotion channel – providing useful but limited content / features to third parties in order to promote usage of the core service. eBay, Amazon and others engage in this through affiliate programs – the API “supports” the affiliate program by allowing third parties to “suck out” exactly the right product meta data to display to their users. Amazon also exposes valuable product popularity data in order to help partners what to display.
