Abstract
The availability of real parallelism in multi-core based architectures has resurrected the interest in concurrent computing in general, and parallel computing in particular. New languages and libraries have been recently proposed to increase productivity in the context of these architectures. In this paper we present a novel approach that resorts to the service abstraction for annotating parallelism.
