This paper describes an X-window based software environment called HeNCE (Heterogeneous Network Computing Environment) designed to assist scientists in developing parallel programs that run on a network of computers. HeNCE is built on top of a software package called PVM which supports process management and communication between a network of heterogeneous computers. HeNCE is based on a parallel programming paradigm where an application program can be described by a graph. Nodes of the graph represent subroutines and the arcs represent data dependencies. HeNCE is composed of integrated graphical tools for creating compiling executing and analyzing HeNCE programs.
