Visualization is the science of transforming data or information into images, engaging the human visual sensory apparatus, as well as the processing power of the human mind. The result is a simple and effective medium for communicating complex information. In other words is the science of representing data in a visual form in order to achieve communication or understanding. Together with the growing demand of visualizing big volumes of data is growing the trend of developing Distributed Environments of Visualization. Therefore arises the necessity to design an architecture that allows desktop visualization using distributed resources which could be combined to solve the problem in an efficient way. In this context we present a new approach, that combines the visualization pipeline, the UVM (Unified Visualization Model) and the Web Service Concept.
