							The plasma objects studied in space physics consist of gigantic systems characterised by 
							multiscale dynamics and fast, long range couplings between key regions. For 
							studying such systems, it is necessary to perform integrated multi-point/multi-instrument 
							analysis in case and statistical studies. In particular the ISTP program, the CLUSTER, THEMIS and MMS 
							missions have been defined for facing this requirement.

							<p>Depending on the heterogeneity of the data and their sources, scientists may 
							spend a lot of energy and time for searching, finding, treating and preparing the 
							data before even starting scientific analysis. In order to help the users to faster 
							reach the data analysis and interpretation step, the CDPP has developped AMDA with the

							<p>Simulation results and analytical models (some of them run in real time) are also

							<p>The service can be reached and used from other sites according 
							to the Virtual Observatory paradigm. (SAMP and EPN-TAP protocols are enabled, VOTables are commonly used).</p>

							<p>AMDA is developed on the basis of an existing DD SYSTEM (Andrey Fedorov, IRAP).
							AMDA is provided by the Centre de Données de la Physique des Plasmas (<a href="http://www.cdpp.eu" target="_blank">CDPP</a>) supported by CNRS, CNES, Observatoire de Paris and Université Paul Sabatier, Toulouse. French ANR, EU and ESA projects have supported part of the developments.</p>
