Tissue analysis is essential for dealing with a number of problems in cancer research. This research tries to address the problem of identifying normal, dysplastic and cancerous colonic mucosa by means of Texture analysis techniques. A genetic algorithm is used to interpret the results of those operations. Image-processing operations and genetic algorithms are both tasks requiring vast processing power. PVM (Parallel Virtual Machine), a message-passing library for distributed programming has been selected for implementing a parallel classification system. To further enhance PVM functionality a C++ object-oriented "PVM wrapper" was constructed.
