engine should communicate with the remote services (by importing JMS specs such as uima-as-project/conf/annotatorC/remote.x\\... ) and the order that they should be invoked in (using AdvancedFixedFlowController ) The output from running the launch config shows that it takes about 6 seconds (5 annotators run in parallel, each of which takes about 6 seconds) to process the document text. This isn't definitive model code for using UIMA-AS. It's intended more as a helpful first step into getting started with UIMA-AS -- which there seems to be a shortage of documentation for. But there is a *lot* more to UIMA-AS, with a lot of settings and features to tweak. Even with this simple example, you can see that output which takes 30 seconds to get using UIMA can be completed in 6 seconds if run in parallel, and how this can be done with UIMA-AS and a few extra config files.
