A framework for meshless methods using generic programming

This article describes a framework for meshless methods using the generic programming paradigm. The framework is developed in C++ language with support of template mechanism. The idea is to build a set of extensible tools so that the framework is able to instantiate the main meshless methods such as Element Free Galerkin Method (EFG), Meshless Local Petrov Galerkin Method (MLPG), Point Interpolation Methods (PIM) and others.
