Title: Seminar 1: A Framework for Generic Programming

Abstract
Perhaps the main factor holding back progress in scientific and engineerinig computing is the difficulty in integrating new algorithms into legacy code. To address these issues, we present Josquin, a C++ framework for coding up algorithms which can then easily be incorporated into existing code, with only a small amount of inlined glue code. This framework makes use of an expanded version of templated traits classes which account for inheritance and namespaces. Applications for "open-implementation" and "grey-box" programming will also be discussed.
