Abstract
This paper proposes a simple solution to use reconfigurable hardware in the context of distributed applications. The remote access to the reconfigurable resources is carried out through Web Services technology. So it is possible to exploit the synergy of reconfigurable computing and distributed applications. A web service has been developed to remotely use the whole functionality of a reconfigurable platform. An example application has been developed in order to study the advantages and drawbacks of this methodology.
