E: Referee Comments (For Author and Editor)
------------------------------


Good overall description of the Grid problem and definitions of Grid
portal. You might want to show some screenshots of GRB in operation.
Good description of services provided. In section 4, maybe another
diagram detailing the layering of the software required in the
implementation would be helpful- also a description of how the various
pieces fit together. For instance what role does Expect play with GRB?
Given that there are Java, Perl and Python approaches to Grid computing
emerging, what were the factors in determining C and CGI as a superior
approach?
I'd like to know more about the C libraries you mention in the
Conclusion section, possibly with a description in Section 6: project
status.
Overall I think this is a concise, well organized paper with valuable
informational content.

F: Presentation Changes
