Hi Tanuj,

Boost already has a comprehensive graph library, in Boost.Graph:
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_57_0/libs/graph/doc/index.html

It also has a substantial parallel graph library (actually, it's more a
"distributed" graph library):
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_57_0/libs/graph_parallel/doc/html/index.html

All the things you mentioned are already present in those libraries.

I suggest that you look into those libraries to see what is already there,
and what you might be able to add to it. Otherwise, there isn't much point
in having you do a GSoC that reinvents the wheel and doesn't provide
anything new to Boost.

Cheers,
Mikael.
