There is some work and design that has been done for executing workflows in a distributed fashion, but I'm not sure of their status.
See http://www.kepler-project.org/Wiki.jsp?page=DistributedKepler and http://www.kepler-project.org/Wiki.jsp?page=WorkingDistributedFeatures I am building a system to have a stable of (remote) Kepler engines watching a job queue and then picking jobs to run. It wouldn't be hard for me to add a web service interface to the job queue section. However, you'll find that one of the challenging issues about remote execution, is that the workflow has to be smart about where to put its results. -Paul Stuart Chalk wrote: > I'm new to kepler but love what it can do. > > My question is I would like to use kepler as a web service (WSDL).
