Looking for object-oriented C++ numerics experience

Dear boost community,

I supervise a group at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena. 
Enterprising group members have developed an advanced numerical 
application in C++ that relies extensively on boost's uBlas. The 
Global Assimilative Ionosphere Model (GAIM) makes extensive use of 
templates which has led to a very efficient objected oriented code. I 
am interested in communicating with experts in C++ object oriented 
numerics who have a potential interest in joining our group and 
working on GAIM. The position involves other tasks as well.

JPL is an exciting place to work and the GAIM project is a cutting 
edge application. Serious job seekers are invited to send inquiries 
directly to me at tony.mannucci <at> jpl.nasa.gov. I am interested in 
developers with significant objected-oriented C++ experience 
specifically applied to numerics/scientific applications. General OO 
or C++ knowledge is of less interest. Thanks for your attention.

-Tony

CfP: ECOOP WS on Parallel/High-Performance Object-Oriented Scientific Computing


			  2nd CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS

			       7th Workshop on
  PARALLEL/HIGH-PERFORMANCE OBJECT-ORIENTED SCIENTIFIC COMPUTING (POOSC'08)
				 8 July 2008
				    at the
       EUROPEAN CONFERENCE ON OBJECT-ORIENTED PROGRAMMING (ECOOP 2008)
			Paphos-Cyprus, 7-11 July 2008

		      http://www.ccs3.lanl.gov/poosc08/

While object-oriented programming is being embraced in industry, particularly
in the form of C++ and to an increasing extent Java and Python, its acceptance
by the parallel scientific programming community is still tentative. In this
latter domain performance is invariably of paramount importance, where even
C++ is considered suspect, primarily because of real or perceived loss of
performance.  On the other hand, various factors practically dictate the use
of language features that provide higher level abstractions than do C or older
FORTRAN standards.  These include increasingly complex physics models,
numerical algorithms, and hardware--deep memory hierarchies,
exponentially-increasing numbers of processors, and the advent of multi- and
many-core processors and heterogeneous architectures.

This workshop seeks to bring together practitioners and researchers in this
growing field to `compare notes' on their work. The emphasis is on identifying
specific problems impeding greater acceptance and widespread use of
object-oriented programming in scientific computing; proposed and implemented
solutions to these problems; and new or novel approaches, techniques or idioms
for scientific and/or parallel computing.  Presentations of work in progress

BoostCon'08 Early Registration Deadline


Reminder: early registration for BoostCon'08 closes Monday, April 7.
It's still not too late to avoid the late registration fee for what may
be the finest C++ event of 2008.

For the 2nd annual Boost C++ libraries conference, we've put together a
fantastic program crowned by a keynote address from Bjarne Stroustrup.
In addition to existing Boost libraries, we're covering technology of
interest to any C++ developer trying to stay on the cutting edge,
including hands-on sessions with features from the upcoming 2nd version
of the C++ standard.  This year we've also added a collection of short
"author's corner" sessions for those of you who want an inside
perspective on how advanced libraries are developed.  See
http://www.boostcon.com/program for details.

BoostCon 2008 will be hosted at Aspen Center for Physics, one of the
most beautiful meeting sites in the world, and a great venue for
collaboration and discovery.  The combination of a relaxed pace and
intense inquiry made BoostCon'07 an event to remember, and we expect no
less for this year.  Please visit http://www.boostcon.com/registration
to register.

Thanks!

Pion Network Library 0.5.4

In conjunction with the first alpha release of our Pion CEP Platform,  
Atomic Labs is happy to announce a new release (v0.5.4) of the Pion  
Network Library, an active, fully-functional and Boost-licensed HTTP  
1.0/1.1 client/server library built on top of asio.

This new release contains several enhancements, including the ability  
to define alternative thread management and work scheduling for each  
server instance (PionScheduler is no longer a singleton), and the  
ability to bind any function object (or function if you use  
boost::bind) to an HTTP resource (the use of WebService plugins is now  
optional). We've also added a std::basic_iostream wrapper for  
TCPConnection objects called TCPStream.

In addition, we fixed several bugs that were identified within the  
last (v0.5.2) release, including issues with parsing chunked entity  
content, and with parsing responses that include neither "Content- 
Length" nor "Transfer-Encoding" HTTP headers. Also, the HTTPRequest  
and HTTPResponse objects now sort HTTP headers using a case- 
insensitive map, so lookups should now work properly regardless of the  
capitalization used (if any).

Although we have several new things planned for the next few months  
(such as adding support for user authentication), the networking  
library is now mostly stabilized and ready for general use.

The Pion CEP Platform is open source software, published under the GNU  
Affero GPL license. The platform is a real-time event processing  
engine that is designed to be extremely extensible through the use  
plugins. Plugins can be developed to provide specialized data  
processing logic, web services, and to enable support for different
