The original version of this framework is based on the brilliant work of David Abrahams and Aleksey Gurtovoy who laid down the base and the principles of the framework in their excellent book, “C++ template Metaprogramming”. The implementation also makes heavy use of the boost::mpl.

Thanks to Jeff Flinn for his idea of the user-defined base state and his review which allowed MSM to be presented at the BoostCon09.

Thanks to my MSM v1 beta testers, Christoph Woskowski and Franz Alt for using the framework with little documentation and to my private reviewer, Edouard Alligand
