This organisation contains the aCaPulCO tool, which uses consistency-preserving configuration operators, generated specifically for a given feature model, to ensure that no invalid configurations are ever created during the search for optimal configurations. This allows multi-objective, search-based optimisation to find better configurations more efficiently than the previous state of the art.
acapulcocontains the aCaPulCO tool packaged as a set of Eclipse plugins ready for installation and use. This tool, its use and extensibility have been described in [2].acapulco_replication_packagecontains the replication package for the experiments in the original TSE paper [1].
