Problem Solving Environments:Virtual Parallel Environments and Languages Subgroup

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?
