Abstract

This paper overviews Mancoosi, an European project in the 7th Research Framework Programme (FP7) of the European Commission, on managing software complexity. The focus of the project has been on managing the evolution of Free and Open Source Software distributions. Evolution of these distributions is realized through the upgrade, the addition, and the removal of software packages. The project has two main objectives: (i) develop a model-based approach to safely support the upgrade of FOSS systems, (ii) develop better algorithms and tools to plan upgrade paths based on various information sources about software packages and on optimization criteria.
