Infrastructure for collaborating data-researchers in a Smart Grid pilot

A large amount of stakeholders are often involved in Smart Grid projects. Each partner has its own way of storing, representing and accessing its data. An integrated data storage and a joint online analytical mining infrastructure is needed to limit the amount of duplicated work and to raise the overall security of the system. The proposed infrastructure is composed of standard application software and an in-house developed data analysis tool that allows researchers to add and share their own functionality without compromising security.
