Title:Industrial‐Academic‐Government Cooperation for Research in Optimization and Algorithm Engineering
         – Differences between ZIB and Universities in Japan –
 
Abstract:
The Zuse Institute Berlin (ZIB) is a research institute for applied mathematics and computer science. The research and service in ZIB is driven by the principle "Fast Algorithms - Fast Computers". Although ZIB’s basic funding is financed by the Federal State of Berlin, it also finances itself by third-party funds of public sponsors as well as funds from industrial cooperation. The trend of further reduction of public financing and an over-proportional increase in third-party project allocations continues. Currently, 75 % of the scientific research work is financed by third-party funds. Its main research activities are all software-oriented, that is, the development of mathematically supercharged optimization software and high performance and quality computing service etc. ZIB is one of the most successful software-oriented research institutes in the world. In this talk, I would like to share my experience as a staff of the development group of the SCIP Optimization Suite. I will introduce the research style of ZIB and the DFG (German Research Foundation) priority program Algorithm Engineering that is centered on an application-driven research cycle. I will discuss the research style in comparison with the Industrial‐Academic‐Government Cooperation in Japanese Universities.
