Abstract

This paper describes the ongoing work aimed at integrating the POP-C++ parallel object programming environment with the ASSIST component based parallel programming environment. Both these programming environments are shortly outlined, then several possibilities of integration are considered. For each one of these integration opportunities, the advantages and synergies that can be possibly achieved are outlined and discussed. The text explains how GEA, the ASSIST deployer can be considered as the basis for the integration of such different systems. An architecture is proposed, extending the existing tools to work together. The current status of integration of the two environments is discussed, along with the expected results and fallouts on the two programming environments.
