  We describe a novel architecture that combines the simplicity of RESTful
architecture with the power of functional programming for delivering
web-services. Although, RESTful architecture has been quite useful in
simplifying the development of scalable systems, it is not suited for all types
of network applications. Our architecture improves upon the RESTful
architecture to provide scalable framework for computationally intensive
network applications. The proposed architecture is ideal for applications that
involve data management and data analysis/calculations on data. Data analytics
and financial calculations are two areas where the architecture can be applied
efficiently.
