+Dataflow is a generic library for [WikiDataflow] programming using various data
+transport mechanisms. The Dataflow library
+comes with support for two data transport mechanisms - one is based on
+[BoostSignals], and the other (experimental) is based connections made through
+simple object pointers, with support for using [BoostPhoenix2]
+actors for data processing.
+
+The two data transport mechanisms are implemented in the [DataflowSignals]
+and [DataflowPhoenix] modules. The idea behind providing a generic dataflow
+library is that other data transport mechanisms can be easily adapted for
+use with the library.
