Hallo, my name is Dr. Dietmar Wolz, I am working at SOPERA GmbH for the Eclipse Runtime SOA Framework in the project Swordfish. At the OSGi Community Meeting in Berlin last week I talked with Peter Kriens about one of the OSGI research challenges for 2008, the "OSGi Resolver" problem, see http://www.osgi.org/blog/2008/02/research-challenges-for-osgi.html . I have some experience with similar kinds of problems so I would like to investigate this a little further. First I would like to collect any written information about this problem, if available. My approach to these kind of problems is quite pragmatic, even for generally NP-complete problems there can often be found good solutions in reasonable time for the specific instances of the problem which occur in practice. I favor a test driven approach, so my first aim would be to set up some kind of test environment which "generates" randomly reasonably sized "typical" instances of the problem. Next I would like to formalize the parameters to optimize in terms of test code. Last would be the test of different algorithms designed to solve the "resolver challenge". From the results we obtain it may be possible to derive a more theoretical paper, but this would be last on my priority list. For my first aim, the generation of test scenarios, it would be helpful to collect some typical instances, can anyone point me to existing projects where a good OSGi resolver would be of some value? Next is the definition which needs exactly to be optimized, can anyone provide me with more detailed information regarding this?
