Enabling remote statistical calculation services by using the multilayer ServeR system

The paper presents ServeR – the system for enabling remote statistical calculation supported by R-project. Multilayer architecture and Windows Communication Foudantion technology usage allow to deploy the system in many configurations adapted to network infrastructure. This makes the system scalable and fault tolerant in some aspect. Usage of ServeR in two modes – off-line (batch mode) and on-line (remote R-sesssion) is shown in detailed examples of statistical tasks. A new feature for increasing system security – an isolated storage mechanism used by statistical task processes – is considered.
