R Web Services

Ed Sanchez writes:

My company, Cumulo Software, has developed a very powerful technology that allows you to turn any R program into a web service in minutes. There is no network programming – you only need to parse simple command line arguments inside R, and then return values via ‘cat’. We have many samples in R, and we are adding more every day.

Our product is called SAASi, and it has an easy to use web interface to define web services. All web services created with SAASi have strict access controls that you specify. We also provide detailed usage statistics that you can use to monetize your web services, among other things.

We are hoping to attract R experts that want to bring innovative R technologies online.

I haven’t had a chance to look at this, but I thought it might interest some of you.
