Abstract
This paper describes approaches to achieve distributed access to analysis tools in the life sciences domain. The underlying technologies are the Web, CORBA, and the use of descriptive meta-data. The need for standarisation, extensibility and portability is underlined. The two separate applications presented here (W2H and AppLab) are both availablefreely.
