Until December 31st, 2008 companies may obtain a free Developer
License of the JOpt.SDK Vehicle Routing Library

The Vehicle Routing Initiative aims on software vendors that plan to
incorporate advanced route planning and optimization features into
their existing software product. Be it in Logistics, Field Service or
Sales Force Planning ISV's are encouraged to contact DNA at:

http://www.dna-evolutions.com/vrinitiative.html

to obtain a free Developer Express License including email support.
This offer is only valid for companies with own applications and
products in these fields.

"This initiative has been launched because we experienced that many
applications in this field are still lacking from optimization
functionalities. One reason is that many developers are afraid of
dealing with complex mutltiple vehicle routing algorithms as this
requires in depth experience with meta heuristics, which is of course
not the primary  focus of modern software engineers", Vincent Mayer
says, (DNA's responsible engineer for application integration)

Therefore DNA has designed a SDK that offers optimization
functionalities with an easy to use API. Worldwide, DNA partners rely
on DNA's scheduling and rapid decisioning technology to bring their
customers outstanding solutions for automatic taskforce planning
whithin one single piece of software.
