The thesis describes the development of a FastFlow skeleton implementing a Branch and Bound parallel framework that would be specialized by the user to solve all of the problems type solvable with a Branch and Bound approach. To achieve this scope the skeleton is worked out leaving to the users the task of specifying the application specific code and providing all the needed objects to implement the Branch and Bound framework.
