IF OK then RESUBMITTAL DETAILS Then say We thank you for your interest in Concurrency: Practice and Experience. If DECISION OK follow this with We are trying to speed up publication which has been delayed recently by several good but disruptive (to timely publication!) special issues. Currently we aim at publication of new papers within a year and accepted papers received in next month will be published towards the end of summer 99. Enclose referee reports labelled 1 2 ... (remember which report is labelled by what number). Reports should NOT have any hint as to source of report and should NOT have recommended action Send email to gcf after ALL letters describing exactly what was done and with electronic copies of leters (as say word attachments) __________________________________________________________________ C396 Editors Letter N=1 (Berman) DECISION OK We would be pleased to publish without further refereeing your interesting paper if you could make the minor suggested improvements. (Or explain why they are not appropriate!) RESUBMITTAL DETAILS Included above _________________________________________________________________________ C392(Additional Report) This is an interesting professional paper which fits well the spirit of the journal. I would have liked to see some explicit discussion of the relevance (if any) of the research to Java and the server and client applications typically coded in this language. C392 Editors Letter N=2(Fox, Pudshoorn) DECISION OK The reports are not entirely consistent but we believe that this is a fine paper which we would like to publish after RESUBMITTAL DETAILS Please include a discussion of your changes and their answer to the referees in your resubmittal. If this is persuasive, we can publish without further refereeing. ________________________________________________________________________ C393(Additional Report) This paper is perhaps most important because of its emphasis on instruction -- an area that deserves more attention. As such, I believe that the "practice and experience" nature of journal suggests that it should have some discussion of experience in instructional use. The authors claim many universities have tried it. Was it a success? How was it used? What level courses? ....etc..... C393 Editors Letter N=2(Fox, Thiruvathukal) DECISION OK The reports are not entirely consistent but we believe that you can easily make your paper acceptable for publication. In general we find style satifactory but we wish that the title was more mundane and descriptive. (Distributed BACI: An instructional toolkit for distributed applications perhaps). Please do improve references to others! RESUBMITTAL DETAILS Please include a discussion of your changes and their answer to the referees in your resubmittal. If this is persuasive, we can publish without further refereeing. _____________________________________________________________________ C394 Editors Letter N=1 (Sunderam) DECISION OK We will be pleased to publish your excellent paper either as it is or with changes suggested by referee or consequent from the passage of time.

The length is also noted but we don't expect that you need consider this as critical. Given our predjudice, we would like to see some comments as to how your analysis can be used in Java MPI linkage. RESUBMITTAL DETAILS Please include a memo describing your changes so that we can evaluate your resubmission without further refereeing. _______________________________________________________________________ C397 Referee This is a sound paper which needs more practical details to be suitable for Concurrency:Practice and Experience. There is some discussion in sec 5.3 but this could surely be extended with a more interesting application than the dining philosopher case. The experience can be focussed on education if that is most appropriate. C397 Letter N=1 Fox DETAILS OK We enclose a referee report on your paper and hope you will be able to add the requested experience in using your system. RESUBMITTAL DETAILS Please include a memo describing your changes so that we can evaluate your resubmission without further refereeing. ______________________________________________________________________________ C398 Referee The authors describe an approach to load balancing a distributed cluster aimed mainly at case where jobs are rather uncorrelated. This field has attracted much attention for several years and I do not believe the existing field is well referenced in this paper. The work of Berman (Apples) is well regarded and there was even a special issue of Concuurency several years ago. I believe this paper should also be strengthened by the study of more interesting applications (matrix multiplication is not very typical) C398 Letter N=1 Fox DETAILS OK We enclose a referee report on your paper and hope you will be able to address these comments and we look forward to receiving a revised paper. RESUBMITTAL DETAILS Please include a memo describing your changes so that we can evaluate your resubmission without further refereeing. ____________________________________________________________________________ C399 Referee This is an interesting paper but this is the wrong journal. There may be enough information to implement concept but this journal should and has only published papers which contain substantial practical experience C399 Letter N=1 Fox Details NOT OK Based on our referee's report, we regret that we are unable to publish your paper. We expect that you will find a more suitable journal and we apologize for the inconvenience. _______________________________________________________________________________ C400 and C401 ACCEPT NO referee reports C404 405 407 408 to be sent out -- 2 referees each _____________________________________________________________________ C402 Referee This is an important subject but this paper does not make it clear where it makes novel contributions. Every day we read about yet another Beowulf installation or similar activity. I believe this paper can skip some of the now familiar introduction (refer to Pfister's book) and focus on essential contributions with a fairer description of others work. C402 Letter N=1 Fox DETAILS OK We enclose a referee report on your paper and hope you will be able to modify your paper accordingly. RESUBMITTAL DETAILS Please include a memo describing your changes so that we can evaluate your resubmission more easily.
