uploadNewComputation

The function <code>uploadNewComputation</code> is really a remote version
of <code>saveNewComputation()</code>, invoking that function on an opencpu server.
This is typically done for every site that wants to participate in a computation
with its own local data. Note that a site is always a list of at least a unique
name element (distinguishing the site from others) and a url element.

Implementing algorithms and fitting models when sites (possibly remote) share
computation summaries rather than actual data over HTTP with a master R process (using
'opencpu', for example). A stratified Cox model and a singular value decomposition are
provided. The former makes direct use of code from the R 'survival' package. (That is,
the underlying Cox model code is derived from that in the R 'survival' package.)
Sites may provide data via several means: CSV files, Redcap API, etc. An extensible
design allows for new methods to be added in the future and includes facilities
for local prototyping and testing. Web applications are provided (via 'shiny') for
the implemented methods to help in designing and deploying the computations.
