Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this research, the realization of research platform where scientists and researchers, each of which may be at a different organization, can work together is aimed. As a result, this research has succeeded to develop a research platform named Data Science Platform (DS-Platform) where scientists perform access and visualize remote data such as analysis results processed through large-scale computation so that the meaning of such data can be easily understood by scientists. Also, the DS-Platform was deployed and investigated through some experiments on an actual international wide-area network environment. As the result, we confirmed the feasibility, availability and usefulness of the achievement in this research.
