Appendix

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.
