Dear Boost members, Some of you may already be aware that the authors of Boost.Interval (Herve Bronnimann, Guillaume Melquiond and myself) are working on a proposal to standardize interval arithmetic in C++. This work has several facets which require different kinds of expertise : - floating point semantic aspects, - C++ library design aspects, the topic of boost, - expertise in all kinds of interval arithmetic usage. We have already issued an initial version of the proposal, which was presented in Mont-Tremblant, and which you can find here : http://www-sop.inria.fr/geometrica/team/Sylvain.Pion/cxx/ This version already received a lot of comments, and we will prepare a revision to integrate these comments. We invite interested people to join a mailing-list that we have just created to discuss this project : http://compgeom.poly.edu/mailman/listinfo/std-interval The list is open and (for now) unmoderated. In addition, please feel free to forward this announcement to anyone you think may be interested in the discussion. -- Sylvain Pion, Herve Bronnimann, Guillaume Melquiond.
