Research Abstract

The research has designed and developed a visual programming environment as a user interface of a data analysis system. Using this system, a user can assemble and construct analytical flows for data as linking icons visually and easily. Because of adopting UML (Unified Modeling Language) as expression of analytical flows and internal data format, this system has extendibility that is capable of exchanging a program of analytical flows to other systems.
