Hi Sean. What do you think makes processing web services different than other web services? Because processing web services take longer to respond? We could envision using queues and polling if that makes sense from the client perspective. One thing that WPS has is chaining. That makes me think that WSGI might be a potential architecture, with chain elements being implemented as WSGI middleware.
