Abstract :
An overview is given of the main specification and design issues for parallel systems of programs from a software engineering perspective. A parallel system design approach based on the Large-Grain Data Flow 2 (LGDF2) computation model is outlined. An assessment of LGDF2 as the basis for unified specification, design, and implementation of parallel programs is given, along with a brief assessment of its potential impact on parallel software development and software project management
