Consortium Overview Sample Clauses
Consortium Overview. The Consortium is led by The Numerical Algorithms Group Ltd. (NAG), Europe’s largest vendor of mathematical software. ▇▇▇ has a great deal of experience in managing European collaborations and in particular coordinated the OpenMath RTD project and is currently managing the OpenMath Thematic Network. ▇▇▇ also brings extensive experience in ad-hoc and formal standardisation activities (the Basic Linear Algebra Subset [BLAS], Fortran-90, Java Grande, MathML etc.) to the Consortium. A number of partners have been involved in the OpenMath project and bring expertise in representing mathematical semantics. Stilo Technology Ltd. is heavily involved in the wider issue of standards and protocols for the web and, along with NAG and the University of Western Ontario, has a representative on the W3C Math Working Group. ▇▇▇▇▇ has experience of the commercial application of many XML technologies and ontologies to real-world applications. The University of Manchester is a world leader in the development of the theory and application of description logics and one of the prime movers behind the DAML+OIL ontology meta- language. We believe that this combination of experience and expertise is ideally suited to the task of creating ontologies and protocols for describing mathematical problems, services and solutions. The Technical University of Eindhoven (TUE) bring expertise in integrating OpenMath with the formal structures used by logic systems and theorem provers, and of integrating computer algebra with theorem proving. They will use that expertise to develop procedures and software to help a user to navigate and understand the mathematical solution process. The University of Nice has an extensive track record in developing tools and environments for linking mathematical software packages. TUE also have experience in integrating different software packages through their novel electronic book Algebra Interactive! which now forms the basis of undergraduate mathematics courses in several universities. NAG develops and markets the visual programming language and environment IRIS Explorer which is a framework for linking components for mathematical problem solving and visualisation. This experience will be invaluable in developing the MONET infrastructure. A number of partners in this consortium are experienced in the development of mathematical software of various kinds, and will apply that expertise to the development of services. ▇▇▇ will lead the development of the numeri...
