Is there any interest out there for a library that allows you to create fast, efficient flow-based programs with an easy-to-use object-oriented interface? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow-based_programming)
I've created an open-source library that does this, called "DSPatch" ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/dspatch) and would like to contribute it to the Boost Libraries.
Please let me know if this sounds like something you'd like to see in Boost.
If you want such a library to be truly efficient, you should be able to wire together the dataflows at compile-time and not pay any overhead for composing large computations out of smaller ones. The accumulators library uses something like a dataflow model, with the "wiring" done completely at compile-time.
Note this is embodied in the boost.range library. Robert Ramey
