I am pleased to announce that we have recently posted the second version of ExSTraCS freely available for download on sourceforge. ExSTraCS 2.0 has added a new rule specificity limit that dramatically improves the algorithm's ability to scale up to bigger problems and datasets. The addition of the rule specificity limit has let to a number of fairly dramatic changes to the underlying code, and manner in which ExSTraCS discovers new rules. Additionally, much attention has been paid to simplifying the algorithm's use. The associated users guide has been completely updated and summarizes all changes, improvements and bug fixes implemented in version 2.0 (including some further fixes made in versions 2.01 and 2.02). As of today the research paper corresponding to this software release is currently "in review". Please contact me with any questions or issues that you may have with this software as it is considered to be a Beta release.
