<p>We need experienced review managers. Please take a look at
|
|
the list of libraries in need of managers and check out their
|
|
descriptions. If you can serve as review manager for any of
|
|
them, email Ron Garcia or Tom Brinkman "garcia at cs dot
|
|
indiana dot edu" and "reportbase at gmail dot com"
|
|
respectively.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>A link to this report will be posted to www.boost.org. If
|
|
you would like us to make any modifications or additions to
|
|
this report before we do that, please email Ron or Tom.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If you're library author and plan on submitting a library
|
|
for review in the next 3-6 months, send Ron or Tom a short
|
|
description of your library and we'll add it to the Libraries
|
|
Under Construction below. We know that there are many libaries
|
|
that are near completion, but we have hard time keeping track
|
|
all of them. Please keep us informed about your progress.</p>

is used for modelling physical-quantities in C++

detailed semantic specifications for reliable and

repeatable conversions between units and

self-documentation of source code. PQS is based around

the principles and guidelines of the International System

|
of Units (SI). The library predefines a large number of
|
|
quantities, physical and maths constants using a common
|
|
syntax. The library also includes (or will soon include)
|
|
classes for manipulating quantities algebraically, for
|
|
example angles (radians, steradians,

|
degrees,minutes,seconds) and vectors, matrices and
