Let T=(V,E) be a tree with vertex set V and edge set E. Let n=|V|. Each e\epsilonE has a non-negative length. In this paper, we first present an algortihm on the CREW PRAM for solving the V/V/r-dominating set problem on T, where r\ge0 is a real number. The algorithm requires O(log2 n) time using 0(nlog n) work. Applying this algorithm as a procedure for testing feasibility, the V/V/p-center problem on the CREW PRAM is solved in O(log3 n) time using O(nlong2 n) work, where p\ge1 is an integer. Previously, He and Yesha had proposed algorithms on the CREW PRAM for special cases of the V/V/r-dominating set and the V/V/p-center problems, in which r is an integer and the lengths of all edges are 1. Their V/V/r-dominating set algortihm requires O(log nloglog n) time using O(nlog nloglog n) work; and their V/V/p-center algorithm requires O(log2 nloglog n) time using O(nlog2 nloglog n) work. As compared with He and Yesha's results, ours are more general and more efficient from the aspect of work.
