Remote Computing - JoSuA
The IDSC has developed an instrument for controlled remote data processing known as JoSuA (Job Submission Application). Originally designed in order to grant international researchers access to German labor market data JoSuA has matured into a flexible instrument of data analysis of configurable degree of automation designed to fit the needs and specifications of each individual data provider.

JoSuA is therefore suitable for use by data providers who own such data and wish to make it available to a larger research community without jeopardizing the security of their data. Data providers may:

• own JoSuA
• use JoSuA "as a service" with data hosting at the IDSC Data Enclave
• use JoSuA "as a service" without data hosting at the IDSC Data Enclave

In all three flavors JoSuA gives data providers full control of the output’s censoring. JoSuA is at the heart of several IDSC cooperations of the with such entities as the RDC of IAB, the RDC of IQB, ROA and others. If you are interested in JoSuA we will be happy to sent you information about it. Please contact us at   idsc [at] iza.org.
