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