Web Processing Service (WPS) Approved by OGC
The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) have approved the first version of the OpenGIS® Web Processing Service (WPS) Interface Standard, which defines a standard for publishing, discovery and binding to geospatial processes. This means that there is standards based way for defining a web services interface for geospatial processing, such as creating a buffer, conducting a trace, or finding a shortest path.
I believe there are several open source implementations of WPS already including a Python one PyWPS and a Java version Java WPS .

WPServer isn't a WPS.

I don't think the WPServer is actually an implementation of OGC WPS.

OGC WPS promises a new way to discover, sharing and processing spatial information over the net, with this the IDES gets power !!

Will the commercial software support WPS? :)
