Daniel points out that Maven is moving to SAT-solver technology too, and this is a second level offspring of EDOS, as it is inspired by the Eclipse P2 project we posted about last week.

So, good ideas travel fast!

One word of warning though for people out there following on the original EDOS ideas:

  • we are not necessarily asking that you mention EDOS (that introduced all these ideas back in 2005) all the time (we kind of know that this spoils business advertising a bit); it would be kind to do it once in a while, though :-)
  • please get in touch with us at Mancoosi, so we can make sure that the problem description format we are working on for the competition properly encompasses your usage cases, so you will be able to benefit from the competition results.
