Description

The Visual Physics Analysis (VISPA) project addresses the typical development cycle of (re-)designing, executing, and verifying an analysis. It presents an integrated graphical development environment for physics analyses, using the Physics eXtension Library (PXL) as underlying C++ analysis toolkit. Basic guidance to the project is given by the paradigms of object oriented programming, data flow management, and graphical representation. In this contribution we present extension of the project to make the physics analysis functionality accessible via a standard internet browser. Utilizing the server-client based approach avoids common requirements such as package installations or specialized computing resources on the client side. With the web browser being the only needed software, mobile devices like tablet computers or smart phones can now be used for physics analysis. New use cases like selected access to experiment data and analyses by the public are possible.
