Detailed Description

Core constructs for Vaucanson.

This module contains definitions for the design pattern used in Vaucanson, so called "Element". This design pattern is more deeply described in the paper by Yann Régis-Gianas and Raphaël Poss: On orthogonal specialization in C++: Dealing with efficiency and algebraic abstraction in Vaucanson. In the proceedings of the Parallel/High-performance Object-Oriented Scientific Computing (POOSC'2003) Darmstadt, Germany July 2003.
