Undertaking research in fields including health, justice, housing, education, disability, social services and child protection increasingly requires application of computer analytics to large-scale, complex and potentially sensitive personal data. ERICA will provide a number of cloud-hosted ERICA project-specific, self-contained networking environments for researchers, within which they can perform state-of-the-art analytics on sensitive datasets. The platform will be delivered using Amazon Web Services (while exploring porting to the ARDC Nectar Research Cloud) and will provide project workspaces, virtual desktops, and a data audit trail.
