We extend U-Compare to automatically convert standalone workflows into web services via a two-click process. The resulting web services can be registered on a central server and made publicly available. Alternatively, users can make web services available on their own servers, after installing the U-Compare Web Application Framework<\/a>. Using the proposed framework, workflows can be made available as a URL link and run in any web browser, without any extra processing power requirements. They can also be linked with any application via the web service interface.

You also need to specify the URL of the server that hosts the U-Compare Web Application Framework<\/a>. If you have not installed U-Compare Web Application Framework on a server, you can use NaCTeM’s server to deploy your services (default option).
