      The authors ``propose a strategy for making \(N\) parallel Monte Carlo Markov chains (MCMC) interact in order to get an approximation of an independent \(N\)-sample of a given target law.'' More specifically, parallel/interacting Metropolis within Gibbs (MwG) algorithm is considered. It is proved ``that the set of interacting chains is itself a MCMC method for the product of \(N\) target measures''. The parallel/interacting MwG and parallel/independent MwG algorithms are compared by examples.
