JWS: a flexible web service

Web services have been proposed as means to provide more convenient access to computation services. An issue that still must be dealt with is what to do if there is no web service with the desired functionality. Deploying a new web service requires expertise in the relevant technologies as well as access to a web services server. In this paper we present the Java Web Service, a web service that...

Web-based kinetic modelling using JWS Online

UNLABELLED JWS Online is a repository of kinetic models, describing biological systems, which can be interactively run and interrogated over the Internet. It is implemented using a client-server strategy where the clients, in the form of web browser based Java applets, act as a graphical interface to the model servers, which perform the required numerical computations. AVAILABILITY The JWS On...
