Additionally, he works on projects together with industry, such as Microsoft Research and IBM Research. His research has contributed to national and international projects including EU DIP FP6 507483, BMBF Notebook University, LBW Karlsruhe Integrated InformationManagement – enabling an inte­grated service-oriented learning and working environment for the KIT. Martin has been working on Web Engineer­ing since 1996; he is co-founder of the WebComposition approach, which is one of the first reuse-oriented Web Engineering approaches for the development and evolution of secure and distributed service-oriented applications. In his projects Martin applies agile and lean approaches and practices. He is a Certified ScrumMaster (CSM) and Certified Scrum ProductOwner (CSPO).

Martin has published more than 90 scientific papers in international conferences, journals, and books. He was co-author of one of the first papers on Web Engineering (WWW6 conference in 1997). He was PC chair for ICWE2009 and has chaired tracks at five WWW conferences, several other conferences and workshops, and has served on over 100 program committees of international workshops and confer­ences. Martin served as an invited expert for the 7th Framework workshop of the European Commission on Web Science, as a member of the EU FP7 FAST Advisory Expert Group, and as a member of NMC's Horizon.JISC Advisory Board.
