Why using WPS?
--------------

* Web based services could help researchers collaborate

  * The fact that individual researchers are increasingly specialized
    raises the "cost” of interacting with other disciplines.
  * Due to these costs, multidisciplinary projects are often run in parallel,
    with no real dependencies and synergies between teams.
  * Open source code has helped tremendously, but there is a large resource gap
    between installing software and having a working application,
    especially in earth system modeling.

* Why would individual scientists publish services?

  * Increased visibility and funding opportunities.
  * Improved research quality.
  * Participate to intercomparison projects.

* Access to external resources

  * operations would be calculated on the server,
    while the system resources could be exposed to clients.
  * large climate data stores
  * compute resources
  * complex software systems

* Cross institutional, cross-community

  * depends *only* on an open standard interface.
  * several implementations for a Processing Service can be used.
  * clients (web portals) can rely on a stable processing service interface.
