The aim of this paper is to propose a cloud-based data mining (DM) platform for researchers in three different geographic locations (Canada, Taiwan and Mongolia) for sharing research data/results through the Internet while remaining cost effective, flexible, secure and privacy-preserved. In addition, the study evaluates the implementation challenges of the cloud based platform and provides potential solutions to handle the identified issues so that other similar research can use this study as a reference to determine whether (or how) to migrate from traditional to cloud-based services.
