I think Peter's links show a concrete implementation of futures. I got
a lot of the ideas though from a presentation by Herb Sutter on the
Concur Project and his recorded presentation (available on Google
Video) here: http://tinyurl.com/j68m8 .

There's a paper by Doug Schmidt and Greg Lavender [

is already available in the ACE framework.
