Yes, I would like to look at the OS aspect. If we could put the OS

OSSolverService

on the server then through a single common interface we could access the 
COIN-OR solvers

Bonmin
Cbc
Clp
Couenne
DyLP
Ipopt
SYMPHONY

and send MPS, OSiL, and nl files. We could also leverage off of the OS 
option and solver result interfaces.

Cheers,
