An Invitation to Order-Theoretic Models of Package Dependencies
Gershom Bazerman

This talk will introduce some elements of ongoing research in the mathematical structure of package dependencies. This work helps to explain how to think about dependencies, how to compare expressiveness of dependency systems (and strength of solvers), and also how to model an algebra of operations of package repositories.
