Application: Paragent Manage 2.1
Company: Paragent
URL: <http://www.paragent.com>

Description:
Paragent Manage is a Desktop Management Application that uses a 
lightweight agent written in C++. Unlike traditional desktop management 
solutions, Paragent Manage avoids the complexity and cost of servers by 
using peer-to-peer communication between agents and the administrative 
console. This allows real-time inventory searching, alerting and 
software auditing in an easy-to-deploy and maintain package.

Boost Usage:
We have used boost extensively throughout our agent, including:

threads
shared_ptr
bind
spirit
date_time
algorithm
multi_index
filesystem

Apart from some read_write_mutex issues we had, boost has been a 
seamless part of our development, and has allowed us to develop and 
deploy a very complex, highly threaded networking agent with a built-in 
lisp-like xml-based scripting language all done in C++. Our entire 
development team would like to thank everyone for their hard work on 
behalf of C++ coders everywhere.
