    {
	The concept of design patterns has recently emerged
	as a new paradigm in the context of object-oriented design methodology.
	Similar ideas are being explored in other areas of computing.
	In the parallel computing domain,
	design patterns describe recurring parallel computing problems
	and their solution strategies.
	Starting with the late 1980's,
	several pattern-based systems have been built
	for facilitating parallel application development. 
	However, most of these systems use patterns in ad hoc manners,
	thus lacking a generic or standard model
	for using and intermixing different patterns. 
	This substantially hampers the usability of such systems.
	Lack of flexibility and extensibility
	are some of the other major concerns
	associated with most of these systems. 
	In this paper, we propose a generic
	(i.e., pattern- and application-independent) model
	for realizing and using parallel design patterns.
	The term {\it architectural skeleton} is used to represent 
	the application independent,
	re-usable set of attributes associated with a pattern. 
	The model can provide most of the functionalities
	of low level message passing libraries, such as PVM or MPI,
	plus the benefits of the patterns.
	This results in tremendous flexibility to the user.
	It turns out that the model is an ideal candidate
	for an object-oriented style of design and implementation.
	It is currently implemented as a C++ template-library
	without requiring any language extension.
	The generic model,
	together with the object-oriented and library-based approach,
	facilitates extensibility.
	The paper focuses on the design and implementation issues of the model.
