C: Paper and Referee Metadata
       Paper Number Cnnn: C543
       Date:                Sept 26, 2001
       Paper Title:     The Gateway Computational Web Portal
       Author(s):         Marlon E. Pierce, Choonhan Youn, Geoffrey C. Fox
       Referee:          William (Chip) Watson
       Address:        12000 Jefferson Av., Newport News, VA 23606

Referee Recommendations. Please indicate overall recommendations here, and
details in following sections.
  X  publish as is (assuming formatting problems are fixed)
       accepted provided changes suggested are made
       reject

D: Referee Comments (For Editor Only) ------------------------------------

        A good paper, although a bit long.  References border on
        excessive.  Not all figures add to the narrative.

        Recommendation to editor:  while no page limit was specified,
        guidance on range of page counts expected could have
        improved balance within this issue, and encouraged tighter
        writing for longer papers, and encouraged more detail in
        shorter papers.

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

        Technical content is good, reasonable clear discussion of
        Kerberos and CORBA issues and architecture.

        One unanswered question in my mind is why the Charon solution
        was kept when the SSL solution is so much cleaner.  If there was
        a problem with the SSL solution (either technical or adminsistrative)
        it should have been covered.

F: Presentation Changes

    There are a number of formatting problems with this paper, which
    exist in the PDF file, but may not exist in the source file. Problems
    include:
        insufficient space between line at top and text
        missing footnote markers for institutions in title section
        heading misplaced on page 10 near bottom (overlays text)
        screen images are at too low a resolution
