Hi, Sorry for taking so much time. I am quite new in such projects. I have tried my best to make a proposal according to your suggestion. I had checked all the relevant materials of "Soft Heap" and also checking the implementation of other heap in boost library. It would have been great if you could check my draft proposal and let me know if there is any thing to be fixed, or any other thing that I have to write elaborately. Thanking you, Mahbub On Tue, Mar 29, 2011 at 7:17 PM, Andrew Sutton <asutton.list@gmail.com>wrote:
I am Mahbub. I am a CSE graduate. I just saw you had a proposal regarding queue and heap in GSoC 2010. In my undergraduate I did thesis on heaps. In that time I learned soft heap, it might be interesting to you.
So I am just curious if you are interested in these types of algorithms. I saw no possible proposal category where these fits in, but I thought you might be interested.
Hi,
I think this would make a nice summer project. There was work done towards a library of heaps and queues last year. I think that a soft-heap might make a nice addition.
I would suggest, as part of your proposal that you survey the design of other soft heap implementations to get ideas for the design. You will also probably want to look at the previous work on heaps and queues. I think a proposal of this nature should address how you plan to integrate with that work.
