A survey of software related academic collaborations at siemens
As an employer of more than 30,000 software engineers, Siemens has a large financial stake in their software engineering practices. The direct influence that academia has on the software practices within Siemens, however, is relatively small. This paper looks at some of the industrial factors that come into play in industrial/academic collaborations, identifies the collaborative models used, and looks at lessons learned from these efforts.
