Thats the same name as the other AI noted on the icarus wiki page http://deusex.wikia.com/wiki/Daedalus

So they're connected alright

Another thing on the Daedalus page at the bottom it states this 
Code:
The name "Daedalus" is one of many symbolic names taken from the Greek mythology. Daedalus was a skilled craftsman and the father of Icarus. Trapped on an island with his son, he created a pair of wings from feathers and wax for himself and Icarus, and taught Icarus to fly. He warned Icarus not to fly too close to the sun, because the wax would melt, nor too close to the sea, because the sea would soak the feathers. Once they took flight, Icarus, forgetting himself, began to soar upward toward the sun. The blazing sun softened the wax that held the feathers together, and they came off. Icarus fell into the sea and drowned. Daedalus cried, bitterly lamenting his own arts.

None of this has anything important to us but its something right? That being it has to do with the sun. 
These are the ramblings of a tired nerd at 1 in the morning.

<+Spacebee> Daedalus: In Greek mythology, Daedalus (/ˈdɛdələs ˈdiːdələs/; Ancient Greek: Δαίδαλος Daidalos "cunningly wrought", perhaps related to δαιδάλλω "to work artfully"; Latin: Daedalus; Etruscan: Taitale) was a skillful craftsman and artist. -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daedalus
<&Apo123> there you go, enjoy spending 200 hours picking it apart
<@Wire> daedalus is also the name of my main computer
<@Wire> the more you know~
<@ZeWaka> that was going to be mine but it seemed too cliché
<@Wire> not too much for me!
<&Apo123> clearly project daedalus just involves us not flying as close to the sun
<&Apo123> so we move the solarium away from the sun
<&Apo123> ez

Coincidentally, one of the other AIs in Dues Ex is also named Daedulus.
I had mentioned this already.

Also one more thing to mention deus ex has one more AI that guess what, the name has to do with greek stuff just like Icarus and Daedalus. In this case its Helios. from the deus ex wiki states this.
Quote:The name "Helios" is one of many symbolic names taken from the Greek mythology. Helios was the personification of the sun. He was imagined as a god crowned with the shining aureole of the sun, who drove the chariot of the sun across the sky each day.
