| <h1>Acknowledgements</h1> |
| |
| We owe many debts of thanks to a number of individuals who both |
| inspired and encouraged us in developing the Boost Graph Library. |
| |
| <p> |
| A most profound thanks goes to Alexander Stepanov for his pioneering |
| work in generic programming, for his encouragement, and for his |
| algorithm contributions to the BGL. We thank Matthew Austern for his |
| work on documenting the concepts of STL which provided a foundation |
| for creating the concepts in the BGL. We thank Dietmar Kühl for |
| his work on generic graph algorithms and design patterns; especially |
| for the property map abstraction. |
| |
| <p> |
| Dave Abrahams, Jens Maurer, Beman Dawes, Gary Powell, Greg Colvin, |
| Valentin Bonnard, and the rest of the group at Boost provided valuable |
| input to the BGL interface, numerous suggestions for improvement, |
| proof reads of the documentation, and help with polishing the code. A |
| special thanks to Dave Abrahams for managing the formal review. |
| |
| <p> |
| We also thank the following BGL users whose questions helped to |
| improve the BGL: Gordon Woodhull, Dave Longhorn, Joel Phillips, and |
| Edward Luke. |
| |
| <p> |
| A special thanks to Jeffrey Squyres for editing and proof reading |
| of the documentation. |
| |
| <p> |
| Our original work on the Boost Graph Library was supported in part by |
| NSF grant ACI-9982205 and by the Director, Office of Science, Division |
| of Mathematical, Information, and Computational Sciences of the U.S. |
| Department of Energy under contract number DE-AC03-76SF00098. |
| <p> |
| In our work we also used resources of the National Energy Research |
| Scientific Computing Center, which is supported by the Office of |
| Science of the U.S. Department of Energy. |
