Abstract
We are developing a tool named Kaira. This tool is intended for modelling, simulation and generation of parallel applications. Modelling is based on the variant of Coloured Petri Nets. Coloured Petri Nets provide the theoretical background and we use their syntax and semantics. Moreover our tool can automatically generate standalone parallel applications from the model. In this paper we present how to develop parallel applications in Kaira. Like an example we use two dimensional heat flow problem solved by Jacobi finite difference method. We present different aspects and different approaches how to model this problem in Kaira on different levels of abstraction.
