================================================

Submissions due 15 April 2005


C++ CONNECTIONS: 20 YEARS OF C++

Location: Mandalay Bay resort, Las Vegas, NV, USA
Dates: November 7-11, 2005

C++ Connections is a five-day conference event focused on practical C++
practice and experience, and that also celebrates the 20th anniversary of
C++'s commercial debut in 1985. The program emphasizes modern real-world
techniques and applications along with current topics related to C++'s
near-term future, including C++0x, the next revision of the C++ standard
now in development. The program is organized as a three-day conference
with two days of pre- and post-conference tutorials.

The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

+ Programming and design techniques
(talks should focus on concrete and proven techniques,
not on enumerating "pitfalls" or "spot-the-bug" topics)

+ Library building and techniques

+ Using C++ successfully in real-world applications and
interesting problem domains

+ Performance studies, metrics, and testing

+ Tools supporting C++ design, implementation, and maintenance

+ Application-, library-, and compiler-level optimization techniques
