Please indicate overall recommendations here, and details in following sections. 1. publish as is 2. accepted provided changes suggested are made 3. reject 2 D: Referee Comments (For Editor Only) E: Referee Comments (For Author and Editor) The paper describes the CORBA-based simulation environment TENT, its architecture and applications, as well as its integration with Globus, and as such fits well within the topic range of this special issue of CCP&E. Figure 2 (Architectural overview) is not explicitly referenced anywhere in the paper. I am missing a "State of the art" type of section, describing other similar environments, though maybe, in a special issue like this, the other papers will largely fill this in. F: Presentation Changes The quality of the figures generated from bitmaps (4, 5, 6, 9) is definitely unsatisfactory: they are so blurred that it's virtually impossible to see anything. Figure 7 contains a grey arrow plus text that only become apparent after looking twice. While the language quality of the paper is good on average, it does contain several typos and other language problems ("whithout", "to simulate of the". I would recommend that a native speaker proofreads it before it is resubmitted. Also, aren't the sections/subsections supposed to be _not_ numbered?
