ABSTRACT 

Parallel programming is widely acknowledged to be more difficult than
sequential programming.  One reason for this is that parallel
programming systems are more difficult to use than their sequential
counterparts.  In particular, few parallel programming systems can
support the software engineering requirements of large applications.
We intend to assess and compare the usability of a variety of parallel
programming systems using a small suite of chained applications called
the Cowichan Problems.
