Thanks for the precision.

I approved your project, you will receive a mail notification shortly.

Before to import the sources at Savannah, please include a copy of the GNU LGPL (not the GNU GPL) in a file name COPYING or COPYING.LIB; please also add a few missing motices in examples/ :)

Regards.

Hello,

When looking for a tarball,  I saw that ParadisEO comes in several versions. ParadisEO-ath, in particular, depends on inuktitut/Pthread, which is not released under a free software license.

We are careful about ethical issues and insist on producing software that is not dependent on proprietary software.

Can you precise me what versions of ParadisEO you intend to develop at Savannah?

As you could see in the e-mails to licensing@gnu.org, the dependencies on Condor and LAM-MPI are causing troubles.

I am discussing the indirect GPL-incompatibility issue with RMS. I'll keep you informed.

Hi,

I'm evaluating the project you submitted for approval in Savannah.

I am not sure that the Condor and the LAM-MPI licenses are compatible with the GNU LGPL. I'll ask licensing@gnu.org.

Description:
------------
  ParadisEO is a free C++ white-box object-oriented framework dedicated to the reusable design of parallel metaheuristics. It is basically an extension of the EO evolutionary computation framework (http://eodev.sourceforge.net). It provides a broad range of new features including local searches (Hill Climbing, Simulated Annealing and Tabu Search), the most common parallel models (based on the walk, the solution and the objective function) and some hybridization mechanisms. ParadisEO is based on a clear conceptual separation of the solution methods from the problems they are intended to solve. This separation confers to the user a maximum code and design reuse.

A first implementation relies on a multi-programmation layer (Posix threads) and some communication libraries (LAM-MPI or PVM) for execution on dedicated parallel and/or distributed computational resources. Another implementation relies on Athapascan and Inuktitut for the dynamic scheduling on a dedicated grid environment. A last release will be available soon. It is based on Condor and the Master/Worker API for High Throughput Computing and Grid Computing on volatile non dedicated resources.
