> Also, in over a decade of very active research in this area progress is being made mostly on the applicable algebraic topology part, not necessarily the applied part.

I'm not entirely sure what this means in terms of applied mathematics. Does it mean applied mathematicians produce these papers but applied fields like EECS, CS, biology etc never use them?

I mean the field's notions are being customized, but so far the language hasn't been shown to be all that insightful in numerous engineering fields probed. Algebraic topologists seem happy trying to be vaguely relevant though.
