Hi Sameera et al,

You guys are doing great in engaging multiple projects and I noticed you have 
started to poking Rave as well. Keep up the good work. + 1 on Chris suggestion 
and your follow up to integrate SIS into the mix as well. You have received 
some good positive feedback from every one. I will go other way and be critical 
but this is not a indication of your work but my attempt to provide some 
research direction to the technical integration you are doing. 

* The report [1] is lacking the goal of your project and also the problem. 
Image a target audience of your fellow moratuwa students who are good software 
engineers but know nothing about Airavata and WPS. Write a one page section 
upfront describing these projects, why they need to be integrated, how will 
they compliment each other. You have some of these details in objectives 
throughout the report. But put them in layman terms so any one should be able 
to read and quickly understanding what your project is about. 

* You have to check with your local mentor (I presume Shahani), but I am 
getting a feeling that you are crossing too many projects without a firm goal. 
I have already seen Airavata+WPS+SIS+Rave. This is great but first lets make 
sure we can envision use cases which an take advantage of such integration. If 
you haven't already, Can you look at some of the workflow use cases here -

* Providing quality use case is a failure of ours and not your problem.  But 
you have to keep asking the right questions and annoy us enough until you get 
what you want. 

Cheers,
Suresh
