ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a method for enabling distributed execution of a program. In one aspect, the method includes the step of receiving a mapping specifying an association between a type of data file and an executable program for execution on a server. The method also includes the steps of presenting a graphical depiction of a data file stored on a client system and receiving a selection of the graphical depiction of the data file. The method further includes the steps of identifying an executable program associated with the type of the selected data file using the received mapping and sending a request to execute the identified executable program.
