Abstract: In the paper, the question of effective automated version selection is tackled. It is an important part of a method for building a software configuration. The paper concentrates on the method for version selection which allows specifying requirements which refer to properties of versions. It is controlled by knowledge in form of heuristic functions serving as necessary condition and suitability condition for selection. We present the method and describe its application in selecting software components.

Keywords: software configuration management, version control, selection controlled by heuristics.
