abstract = {Communication between client and server is a key factor in the modern age. Nowadays, telecommunications are at the base of every system and Software that is available. The way Software communicates can determine the efficacy of it. In the GIS world, a server is often used for offloading expensive tasks such as geospatial operations or statistical analysis. This technique improves the performance of the Software systems and makes them able to scale based on the demand on real time. For making the communication between client and server more efficient, interoperable and standard, the OGC released the standard WPS. WPS defines abstract operations that are able to describe a client server communication for remote process executions. This thesis focuses on the asynchronous execution feature introduced in the version 2.0 of WPS. The main goal is to study how asynchronous process execution can benefit a client both in performance and availability. The result are promising and it is demonstrated that WPS is a solid standard for describing web services operations. Based on the obtained results, future studies can extend the standard in order to make it more general and suitable for more situations.},
