Software
We make our software output available to researchers and companies. Part of the institute’s software productions is aimed to be used by a wide audience and intended to become the reference software in its area. CWI has contributed to new industry standards in multimedia, internet security, database management systems and the development of programming languages.
Part of CWI’s knowledge transfer is achieved by developing software, and making this available to researchers, industry and society.
