    The Australian Urban Research Infrastructure Network (AURIN) project (www.aurin.org.au) is tasked with developing an e-Infrastructure to support urban and built environment research across Australia. As identified in [1], this e-Infrastructure must provide seamless access to highly distributed and heterogeneous data sets from multiple organisations with accompanying analytical and visualization capabilities. The project is tasked with delivering a secure, web-based unifying environment offering a one-stop-shop for Australia-wide urban and built environment research. This paper describes the architectural design and implementation of the AURIN data-driven e-Infrastructure, where data is not just a passive entity that is accessed and used as a consequence of research demand, but is instead, directly shaping the computational access, processing and intelligent utilization possibilities. This is demonstrated in a situational context.

    The design of a flexible web-based analytical platform for urban research: systems paper
    TOMKO, MARTIN ; Greenwood, Phillip ; Sarwar, Muhammed ; MORANDINI, LUCA ; STIMSON, ROBERT ; BAYLISS, CHRISTOPHER ; GALANG, GERSON ; NINO-RUIZ, MARCOS ; VOORSLUYS, WILLIAM ; WIDJAJA, IVO ; KOETSIER, GEORGE ; MANNIX, DAMIEN ; Pettit, Christopher ; SINNOTT, RICHARD (Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), 2012)
    In this paper, we present the functional capabilities scoping for a novel eResearch infrastructure providing urban researchers with access to datasets and analytical tools. The AURIN portal provides a “lab in a browser” environment, leveraging a complex, loosely-coupled internal architecture and a growing number of federated data sources. Datasets can be “shopped” for, visually explored and analyzed using a growing number of analytical capabilities orchestrated in a workflow environment. While spatial analytical tasks are at the heart of most targeted research disciplines, AURIN aims to reach beyond the scope of traditional GIS and map-based portals. In this paper, we discuss how the functional requirements of AURIN can be realized to enable exploratory and confirmatory data analysis supported by high performance Web based infrastructure.
