Abstract

The ability to effortlessly reuse and combine existing computational tools is an important factor influencing research productivity in many scientific domains. While the service-oriented approach proved to be essential in order to enable wide-scale sharing of applications, we argue that its full potential in scientific computing is still not realized. In this paper, we present Everest, a cloud platform that supports publication, sharing and reuse of scientific applications as web services. The underlying approach is based on a uniform representation of computational web services and its implementation using REST architectural style. In comparison with existing work, Everest has a number of novel features such as the use of PaaS model, flexible binding of services with externally provisioned computing resources and remotely accessible API.
