  abstract =     "Proposes a straightforward solution to the problems of
                 compositional parallel programming by using skeletons
                 as the uniform mechanism for structured composition. In
                 our approach, parallel programs are constructed by
                 composing procedures in a conventional base language
                 using a set of high-level, predefined, functional,
                 parallel computational forms known as skeletons. The
                 ability to compose skeletons provides us with the
                 essential tools for building further and more complex
                 application-oriented skeletons specifying important
                 aspects of parallel computation. Compared with the
                 process network-based composition approaches, such as
                 PCN (Program Composition Notation), the skeleton
                 approach abstracts away the fine details of connecting
                 communication ports to the higher level mechanism of
                 making data distributions conform, thus avoiding the
                 complexity of using lower level ports as the means of
                 interaction. Thus, the framework provides a natural
                 integration of the compositional programming approach
                 with the data parallel programming paradigm.",
