The new working group you're talking about is the EUROPA Esprit
working group.

EUROPA is coordinated by the London Parallel Application
Center (LPAC) and has been formed with the aim of reaching agreement about
the definition of a parallel object-oriented language derived from C++.

Participants in the Europe-wide group include Bull (France), ICL (UK),
and Cap Gemini Innovation (France).

The objective is not to standardise, per se, but to develop a rugged
definition of a parallel C++ (abbreviated as //C++) that can be
implemented and used for real applications in high performance compting (HPC).
It may well become the de facto standard in Europe.

For your information, the leader of the project is Dr Peter Dzwig,
Director of LPAC. His email is P.E.Dzwig@lpac.ac.uk

I'm on a mailing list where I get summary blurbs every so often about
the latest issue of an electronic magazine called HPCwire.  (The summary
blurbs are designed to entice one into subscribing, and paying the sub-
scription fee.)

Anyway, I haven't subscribed, so I have no way of getting the full article
behind the following summary line (which appeared in a recent HPCwire
summary message):

  4365) New Working Group Aims to Define Parallel C++......................13

Does anyone here have any information about the group that's working on
this?  Are they running a mailing list?  Sounds like yet another C++
standard in the making.
