=title=
A Parallel Computer Algebra System Based on Maple and Java
=abstract=
Distributed Maple is a system for writing parallel programs in the
computer algebra system Maple. It allows to create concurrent tasks
and to execute them by Maple kernels running on different machines of
a network. The system consists of two components: 

* A Java class library which implements a general purpose communication
and scheduling mechanism for distributed applications. 

* A binding that allows to access the Java scheduler from Maple and
implements a parallel programming model on top. 

The system is portable to most kinds of computer networks and is
freely available.
