Key technologies require today the broad use of mathematical methods, algorithms, and software. Applied research at mathematical institutions become more and more important. It is a hard and extensive work to develop mathematics for a concrete application. But the results of research projects are often poorly documented. This makes it difficult to reuse the results in other applications. A comprehensive and standardized presentation of the project information could help users in industry and services to improve products and make technologies and services more efficient.
The Math&Industry project funded by the BMBF intends to develop concepts and methods for documentation of research projects in applied mathematics. For that purpose IWI and ZIB have developedThe talk gives an overview about the current state of the project.
