Hi --

A small number of Bioconductor work flows have been established as
caGrid analytic services; these are discoverable on the caGrid portal,

  http://cagrid-portal.nci.nih.gov

as those services that are hosted at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research
Center here in Seattle.

Documentation is available at

  https://gforge.nci.nih.gov/docman/?group_id=175

under '02 Bioconductor CaGrid Services'. The functionality provided by
the services is documented in the Service Documentation archive; the
Installation Guide provides instruction on establishing your own instances.

The RWebServices package

  http://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/RWebServices.html

has a vignette on enabling web services on additional packages,
including how these are combined with the caGrid introduce
infrastructure, so that it is not impossible to create custom caGrid
services.

The code for the services is in gforge,

  https://gforge.nci.nih.gov/scm/?group_id=175

Please let me know if you'd like further assistance.
