We thank Matthew Austern for his 28work on documenting the concepts of STL which provided a foundation 29for creating the concepts in the BGL. We thank Dietmar Kühl for 30his work on generic graph algorithms and design patterns; especially 31for the property map abstraction. 32 33<p> 34Dave Abrahams, Jens Maurer, Beman Dawes, Gary Powell, Greg Colvin, 35Valentin Bonnard, and the rest of the group at Boost provided valuable 36input to the BGL interface, numerous suggestions for improvement, 37proof reads of the documentation, and help with polishing the code. A 38special thanks to Dave Abrahams for managing the formal review. 39 40<p> 41We also thank the following BGL users whose questions helped to 42improve the BGL: Gordon Woodhull, Dave Longhorn, Joel Phillips, and 43Edward Luke. 44 45<p> 46A special thanks to Jeffrey Squyres for editing and proof reading 47of the documentation. 48 49<p> 50Our original work on the Boost Graph Library was supported in part by 51NSF grant ACI-9982205 and by the Director, Office of Science, Division 52of Mathematical, Information, and Computational Sciences of the U.S. 53Department of Energy under contract number DE-AC03-76SF00098. 54<p> 55In our work we also used resources of the National Energy Research 56Scientific Computing Center, which is supported by the Office of 57Science of the U.S. Department of Energy. 58 59 60 61<br> 62<HR> 63<TABLE> 64<TR valign=top> 65<TD nowrap>Copyright © 2000-2001</TD><TD> 66<A HREF="http://www.boost.org/people/jeremy_siek.htm">Jeremy Siek</A>, 67Indiana University (<A 68HREF="mailto:jsiek@osl.iu.edu">jsiek@osl.iu.edu</A>)<br> 69<A HREF="http://www.boost.org/people/liequan_lee.htm">Lie-Quan Lee</A>, Indiana University (<A HREF="mailto:llee@cs.indiana.edu">llee@cs.indiana.edu</A>)<br> 70<A HREF="https://homes.cs.washington.edu/~al75">Andrew Lumsdaine</A>, 71Indiana University (<A 72HREF="mailto:lums@osl.iu.edu">lums@osl.iu.edu</A>) 73</TD></TR></TABLE> 74 75</BODY> 76</HTML> 77
