[R-sig-Geo] WPS client implementation in R

[Dr. Benedikt Gräler]

Dear Barry,

I am not quite sure what you are targetting at:
i) a solution to expose (geo) R functionality as a WPS on the web or
ii) a R package to ease the access to an exposed WPS.

Regarding i), there is WPS4R (as a follow-up on the UseR! abstract; 
available as part of the 52°North WPS bundle [1]) where annotated R 
scripts can automatically be wrapped in a WPS process and exposed on the 
web (a tutorial can be found here [2]).

In terms of ii), I am not aware of any existing solution, but would be 
interested to contribute; possibly also as a GSoC project (I'll sketch 
the idea on the 52N's GSoC 2018 project page [3]).

Cheers,

  Ben
