The Design of Mmm: a Model Management System for Time Series Analysis

Time series analysis and prediction is turning into an interdisciplinary subject where data and methods are being contributed from a broad variety of disciplines, including economics, physics, computer science, and statistics. Model management systems were originally designed for operations research applications. With thousands of methods and gigabytes of data now available on the Internet, however, such systems may become a crucial component for the eecient organization and exchange of any computer-based work in these areas. This paper introduces the model management system MMM that combines model management with the World Wide Web (WWW) to provide an infrastructure for interdisciplinary, worldwide distributed research on time series analysis. In particular, MMM will provide a platform to make related research results applicable and veriiable.
