| 23 | <h1>Acknowledgements</h1> |
|---|
| 24 | |
|---|
| 25 | We owe many debts of thanks to a number of individuals who both |
|---|
| 26 | inspired and encouraged us in developing the Boost Graph Library. |
|---|
| 27 | |
|---|
| 28 | <p> |
|---|
| 29 | A most profound thanks goes to Alexander Stepanov for his pioneering |
|---|
| 30 | work in generic programming, for his encouragement, and for his |
|---|
| 31 | algorithm contributions to the BGL. We thank Matthew Austern for his |
|---|
| 32 | work on documenting the concepts of STL which provided a foundation |
|---|
| 33 | for creating the concepts in the BGL. We thank Dietmar Kühl for |
|---|
| 34 | his work on generic graph algorithms and design patterns; especially |
|---|
| 35 | for the property map abstraction. |
|---|
| 36 | |
|---|
| 37 | <p> |
|---|
| 38 | Dave Abrahams, Jens Maurer, Beman Dawes, Gary Powell, Greg Colvin, |
|---|
| 39 | Valentin Bonnard, and the rest of the group at Boost provided valuable |
|---|
| 40 | input to the BGL interface, numerous suggestions for improvement, |
|---|
| 41 | proof reads of the documentation, and help with polishing the code. A |
|---|
| 42 | special thanks to Dave Abrahams for managing the formal review. |
|---|
| 43 | |
|---|
| 44 | <p> |
|---|
| 45 | We also thank the following BGL users whose questions helped to |
|---|
| 46 | improve the BGL: Gordon Woodhull, Dave Longhorn, Joel Phillips, and |
|---|
| 47 | Edward Luke. |
|---|
| 48 | |
|---|
| 49 | <p> |
|---|
| 50 | A special thanks to Jeffrey Squyres for editing and proof reading |
|---|
| 51 | of the documentation. |
|---|

| 54 | Our original work on the Boost Graph Library was supported in part by |
|---|
| 55 | NSF grant ACI-9982205 and by the Director, Office of Science, Division |
|---|
| 56 | of Mathematical, Information, and Computational Sciences of the U.S. |
|---|
| 57 | Department of Energy under contract number DE-AC03-76SF00098. |
|---|
| 58 | <p> |
|---|
| 59 | In our work we also used resources of the National Energy Research |
|---|
| 60 | Scientific Computing Center, which is supported by the Office of |
|---|
| 61 | Science of the U.S. Department of Energy. |
