Data Mining Applications for Empowering Knowledge Societies
A book edited by Dr. Hakikur Rahman, SDNP, Bangladesh
Introduction
Data Mining and Data Warehousing techniques are
increasingly becoming indispensable parts of
corporate intelligence programs and are evolving
into to a pervasive technology within activities
that range from the utilization of historical
data to predicting the success of an awareness
campaign, or a promotional operation in search of
sequence patterns used to act as a monitoring
tools or in the analysis of genome chains. In
essence, data mining is an interdisciplinary
field driven by various multi-dimensional
applications. On the one hand it involves
techniques for machine learning, pattern
recognition, statistics, algorithm, database,
linguistic and visualization. On the other hand,
one finds applications to understand human
behavior, such as that of the end user. It also
helps entrepreneurs to understand the type of
transactions involved, including those needed to
evaluate risks or detect frauds. Data mining can
yield substantial knowledge from data primarily
gathered for a wide range of applications.
Various institutions have derived considerable
benefits from its application, and many other
industries and disciplines are now applying the
methodology in increasing effect for their development.
The Overall Objective of the Book
In the global context, combination of constant
technological innovation and increasing
competitiveness makes the management of
information a huge challenge which requires
intricate decision-making processes built on
reliable and opportune information, gathered from
steady (internal and external) sources. The
objective of the book is to examine the meaning
and role of data mining in terms of development
initiatives and its outcomes in developing
economies. At the same time, it will give an
in-depth look into the management of information
in developed countries with a in similar
perspective. Furthermore, this book aims to
assist in preparing forthcoming policy
initiatives to enhance the impact of global
governance institutions, and to promote practices
of accountability, transparency, and participation.
The Target Audience
It is assumed that numerous individuals,
academics, researchers, engineers, professionals
from government and , non-government, security
and development organizations will be interested
on this increasingly important topic for national
development. This book will assist readers to
understand the key practical and research issues
related to applying data mining in development
data analysis, cyber acclamations, digital
deftness, security applications, intrinsic nature
in the context of society uplift and as a whole
and the, use of data and information for skills development.
Recommended topics may include, but are not limited to, the following:
· Contributing to, access, and retrieve
data from various (local, national, global) data systems and networks;
· Promoting research efforts necessary
for the development of tools required in all societal benefit areas;
· Development and availability of shared
data, metadata, and products required across societal benefit areas;
· Encouraging and facilitating transition
from research to operations of appropriate systems and techniques;
· Developing recommended priorities for
new or augmented efforts in human capacity building;
· Encouraging adoption of existing and
new standards to support broader data and information usability;
· Data management approaches encompassing
broader perspectives on the observation of data
life cycle, from input through processing,
archiving, and dissemination, including
reprocessing, analysis and visualization of large
volumes and diverse types of data;
· Facilitating recording and storage of
data in clearly defined formats, with metadata
and quality indications to enable search,
retrieval, and archiving as easily accessible data sets;
· Facilitating user involvement and
conducting outreach at global, regional, national and local levels;
· Life-cycle data management, data
integration and information fusion, data mining,
network enhancement, and design optimization studies;
· Development of models, data
assimilation modules, and other algorithms that
are able to produce global and regional products more effectively;
· Enhanced analysis and interpretation of
data to enable development of decision-support
tools and to advance understanding in the societal benefit areas.
