Every connection has a separate workspace and working directory. Client-side implementations are available for popular languages such as C/C++ and Java, allowing any application to use facilities of R without the need of linking to R code. Rserve supports remote connection, user authentication and file transfer. License: GPL version 2 or newer URL: http://stats.math.uni-augsburg.de/Rserve/
