Need to define terms more precisely:
Does Language refer to fine grain operations/parallelism as in HPF
Does Environment refer to coarse grain parallelism as seen in AVS or Khoros?
Is "Software Bus" same thing as coarse grain software integration?
Does a scripting (interpreted) language such as PERL (an environment for document manipulation) or Visual Basic encompass both terms?
Does Parallel include Distributed? What is "Virtual" ?
What are requirements?
At system level -- metacomputers, and/or MPP's, and/or PC's ...
At Application level -- fields include Partial Differential Equations, Image Processing .. Distributed Simulation as in SIMNET .. DeskTop Publishing?
