Seamless Interfaces, Multi-Tier Gateway Systems, Comments on Sandia DRM Design

We comment on Sandia DRM preliminary document and attach three background presentations describing

1) Community project to define standards for seamless interfaces allowing universal access to general hosts can be CORBA facility or Java framework

2) NPAC's hierarchical access Gateway multi-tier architecture and illustrate it with

3) NPAC Projects using NPAC's WebFlow and JWORB object broker combined with Globus to illustrate viability of hierarchical model for NCSA (NSF Alliance) and DoD HPC modernization applications
