BoostCon 2010 preliminary program

Hey all, 

please find below a list of accepted submissions to BoostCon 2010. A
tentative, fully scheduled program will be available soon.

The keynote will be held by Maurice Herlihy. Maurice Herlihy is a computer
scientist active in the field of multiprocessor synchronization. Herlihy has
contributed to the design of concurrent algorithms, and in particular to the
exposition and quantification of the properties and uses of hardware
synchronization operations. He is currently (2009) a professor of computer
science at Brown University and one of the leading visionaries in the field
of transactional memory.

Following up on this keynote we will have a full day sessions and panel
discussion where we plan for 4 different groups to talk about their work on
transactional memory (Mark Moir (Sun), Tatiana Shpeisman (Intel), Michael
Wong (IBM), Vicente Botet (TBoost.STM))

In addition we have a high quality, distinctive, fully packed, and very
diverse list of accepted talks:

João P. R. Abecasis:
    Cross-platform development with Qt and Boost
Ruediger Berlich:
    Distributed parametric optimization with the Geneva library
Dean Michael Berris:
    Techniques in Flexible Header-Only C++ Network Library 
       Implementations
Michael Caisse:
    Using Spirit 2.1: Qi and Karma

[Review] ITL review starts today, February 18th


Hi all,

The formal review of the Interval Template Library (ITL) starts today,
February 18th, 2010 and will end February 27th, 2010. 
ITL is being developed by Joachim Faulhaber.

------------------------------------------------

About the library:

The Interval Template Library (ITL) is a library of interval containers that
facilitates computations on collections of intervals and associated values.
Use cases of such computations typically occur in the date and time problem
domain, when collections of time intervals with associated data are
analyzed, combined and aggregated. But the scope of applications for
interval containers is more general and not limited to date and time
problems.

Interval containers allow to access and manipulate collections of intervals
on an abstract level as sets and maps (of elements), but also to exploit
segmental information that is given by the interval borders. Interval
containers are fairly generic. They can be instantiated with discrete domain
(or key) types like integral numeric types or boost::date or time types. But
they also work with continuous domain types like double, rational or string.
Using the latter allows to represent infinite sets and maps.

The interface of the interval containers strives to be very intuitive and in
line with the stl and other boost libraries.

[Review] ITL review extended until March 7th

Hey all,

After getting the approval from our review wizards we decided to extend the
review period of Joachim Faulhabers ITL library until March 7th, 2010. That
should give everybody some more time to finish their reviews.

Regards Hartmut
