Abstract
As already introduced in Sect. 1.1, IMPROVE is a joint project between different disciplines, namely Chemical Engineering and Informatics. Even more, Plastics Engineering and Labor Research are also involved. Informatics itself is represented by three groups of different research fields.
Whereas Sect. 1.1 dealt with the problem to be solved and Sect. 1.2 discussed a resulting integrated prototypical environment, this section discusses the project and the research and development process to solve these problems.
The section is structured as follows: First, the IMPROVE project structure is discussed, next its iterative and practical approach is introduced. Two further characterizations are given, namely the funding of IMPROVE and the predecessor projects. Finally, we give a survey of this book’s structure.
