Abstract
We present an overview of eSkel, a library for skeletal parallel programming. eSkel aims to maximise the conceptual flexibility afforded by its component skeletons and to facilitate dynamic selection of skeleton compositions. We present simple examples which illustrate these properties, and discuss the implementation challenges which the model poses.
