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 Tony Mannucci 2008-07-25T00:52:43 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.interest/47 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.

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, a David Abrahams 2008-04-02T02:02:47 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.interest/45 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 Michael Dickey 2008-03-10T18:47:27 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.interest/44 CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS 7th Workshop on PARALLEL/HIGH-PERFORMANCE OBJECT-ORIENTED SCIENTIFIC COMPUTING (POOSC'08) 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.

The seminar will be held in Astoria, Oregon, from September 23 to September 26. Featuring a quintet of world-renowned experts in C++ software development who have collectively authored half a dozen books, two compilers, a handful of widely-used libraries, and over one hundred articles, The Astoria Seminar focuses on advanced topics in the design and implementation of systems using C++. The small size of the seminar (only 55 people), the mix of lectures, discussions, group meals, and outings, and last but not least the venue of picturesque Astoria, Oregon, all are meant to contribute to a truly extraordinary event with learning, fun, and direct interaction with top personalities in the field.

I was wondering if there is interest for such a binary_iostreams library? The binary_iostreams is a small library, very similar to the iostreams library. Compared to iostreams, the unformatted I/O operators remain, and the formatted I/O operators now do binary I/O. This makes the binary_iostreams library easy to use for anyone acquainted with the iostreams library. The binary_iostreams library allows to set the endianness of the output stream. Together with <cstdint>, this allows for portable binary I/O, although binary_iostreams does not claim to be a full blown serialization library. Direct link to a motivating example: http://www.cs.kuleuven.ac.be/~ares/binary_iostreams/test.cpp The library: http://www.cs.kuleuven.ac.be/~ares/binary_iostreams/binary_iostreams-0.1.tar.gz The documentation: http://www.cs.kuleuven.ac.be/~ares/binary_iostreams/doc/html Best regards, Ares Lagae 2007-05-22T14:04:28 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.interest/28 I have just released the first (Alpha) version of a project called EDoc++ which I believe may be of interest to boost developers. This tool allows C++ developers to perform static analysis of C++ exception propagation, and will also generate documentation of that exception propagation that can be processed with Doxygen (Currently requires a patched version of doxygen). There are future plans to support the ability for users to create plugins for this application to generate documentation in various additional formats. In addition to this EDoc++ also performs a number of safety checks on C++ source code to ensure that a program being analyzed will not abnormally terminate due to poor exception usage. This is a preliminary version of EDoc++ that i would love some feedback on.

David Abrahams 2007-03-19T18:14:27 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.interest/25 I have recently released a new C++ framework by the name of Reason under the GPL. It provides a well rounded platform agnostic alternative to both Boost and STL, but also contains many complimentary features. It is written using a metaphor more akin to Java or .NET but still has a very powerful and portable library of generic collections such as List<>, Array<>, Map<>, Set<>, Hashmap<>, and Hashset<>. Naturally it also has Iterator<>'s and all the other features you would expect. On the whole Reason is probably a little more consistent than Boost/STL and focuses on usability and readability above genrics. One of its key design goals is the principle of least surprise... You will find classes for networking (including client and server implementations of common protocols like http), threading, streams, strings, filesystem & io, compression, encryption, dates & times, regular expressions, sql, xml, xpath, logging & configuration, and high resolution timers.
