C: Paper and Referee Metadata Paper Number Cnnn: C535 Date: 09/24/2001 Paper Title: Ecce -- A Problem Solving Environment's Evolution Toward Grid Services and a Web Architecture Author(s): Karen Schuchardt, Brett Didier, Gary Black Referee: Andreas Schreiber Address: Argonne National Laboratory, Mathematics and Computer Science Division, Argonne, IL 60439, U.S.A. Referee Recommendations. Please indicate overall recommendations here, and details in following sections. accepted provided changes suggested are made D: Referee Comments (For Editor Only) ------------------------------------ This paper presents a very brief overview of the Ecce problem solving environment and its architecture as well as an overview of realized and planned architectural changes to allow working in Grids. I think the paper is valuable for the GCE special issue, because it presents a good example for an application specific environment that allows their users to utilize the Grid. E: Referee Comments (For Author and Editor) ------------------------------ Good paper presenting not only Ecce but gives also some general topics to mention for building PSEs. Some parts of the paper gives statements, that should be provided with further information, for example, references to other documents. In particular: Section 3.3, paragraph 4: Why does RSL not provide the necessary customization, what is missing? Section 3.3, paragraph 9: What deficiencies do existing protocols have, what are your requirements? As the paper presents an very application-related PSE, I suggest to add a 'typical' screenshot of Ecce. Also the paper should say something about the availability of the Ecce environment (Is it free? Can it be used by others? Can it be downloaded?)
