In this article we introduce the concept and the first implementation of alightweight client-server-framework as middleware for distributed computing. Onthe client side an installation without administrative rights or privilegedports can turn any computer into a worker node. Only a Java runtime environmentand the JAR files comprising the workflow client are needed. To connect allclients to the engine one open server port is sufficient. The engine submitsdata to the clients and orchestrates their work by workflow descriptions from acentral database. Clients request new task descriptions periodically, thus thesystem is robust against network failures. In the basic set-up, data up- anddownloads are handled via HTTP communication with the server. The performanceof the modular system could additionally be improved using dedicated fileservers or distributed network file systems.  We demonstrate the design features of the proposed engine in real-worldapplications from mechanical engineering. We have used this system on a computecluster in design-of-experiment studies, parameter optimisations and robustnessvalidations of finite element structures.
