    {
	Design pattern concepts are being used
	in the various disciplines of computing.
	In the parallel computing domain,
	design patterns specify recurring parallel
	computing problems and their solution strategies.
	The paper defines a generic
	(i.e. application and pattern independent)
	model for realizing and using parallel design patterns.
	The term {\it architectural skeleton} 
	is coined to represent the application independent,
	generic set of attributes associated with a pattern.
	The model is aimed at providing many of the functionalities of MPI,
	plus the benefits of the patterns. 
	The intent is to provide a considerable amount
	of flexibility to the user in application development.
	The generic model also enhances usability.
	As it turns out,
	the model is a natural candidate
	for 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
	(i.e. new patterns can be added to the system library
	without requiring any major modifications to the existing system).
