Subject: Submission for C&C:P&E special issue From: Naren Ramakrishnan Date: Fri, 20 Jul 2001 14:45:24 -0400 (EDT) To: fox@csit.fsu.edu CC: ltw@cs.vt.edu, shaffer@cs.vt.edu, ribbens@cs.vt.edu, kafura@cs.vt.edu, naren@trinetra.cs.vt.edu Dear Dr. Fox, I am writing to submit the paper "Programming Environments for Multidisciplinary Grid Communities" for consideration in the special issue on Grid Computing Environments. It describes work done in the Virginia Tech PSEs group; we believe our manuscript addresses many of the issues outlined in the white papers at the Computing Portals site. It also describes five full-fledged environments for various application domains. The paper can be downloaded in Postscript or PDF formats at: http://www.cs.vt.edu/~ramakris/vt-gridce.ps (10.2M) http://www.cs.vt.edu/~ramakris/vt-gridce.pdf (0.36M) As indicated earlier, we will be happy to do our part to assist in the reviewing for the special issue. Best, Naren
