Abstract

Design methodologies for parallel software systems must support the explicit representation of partitioning and synchronisation of software components as well as promoting current software engineering best practice. This paper presents an object-based approach to parallel software design using a notation known as process graphs. Designs represented as process graphs are simple and concise, but can be progressively refined to capture all the structural and dynamic properties of a system. The key features of the notation are described, and the PARSE methodology which extensively utilizes process graphs is briefly discussed.
