Hi Rick,
Sounds like something for the WPS protocol as now is available as discussion paper (OGC 05-007r4). WPS stands for Web Processing Service. I do not know whether Surfer is already busy implementing this draft specification.
Please check http://portal.opengeospatial.org/files/?artifact_id=12184
regards,
Wim Koolhoven

Looking for your advice and experiences for this one...
We are looking at getting an interactive web page that would allow a user to insert their coordinates and some other parameters (such as rainfall or temperature) then run an interpolation routine to generate a map on demand.
We currently use Surfer (Golden Software) to interpolate various data (rainfall, temperature, crop disease risk, etc) and export a .gif image that gets posted to the web on a daily basis. This is done in an automated routine from data in our database through VB. Our webmaster currently uses Cold Fusion for much of our live web interactions.
In some instances, this may require that the software go to the database and recalculate values from the beginning of the season (for example, disease risk values are cumulative). In this case, the data entered and returned would be stored in our database. In some cases, it will be nothing more than an ephemeral map that can be printed but which will disappear once the application is closed. In this case the data need not be saved.
If anyone has done or seen anything like this, some pointers to web pages would be appreciated, as would advice on your experience with such a service.
Thanks
