First of all -- it is considered rude to answer to the personal
 address when conversing on the list (see
 http://www.linuxmafia.com/~rick/faq/#offlist for rather direct
 explanation of the problem -- I wouldn't say it in such tone).

I think that reading btxdoc could really help. It is rather well
 written (IMVHO) and most mistakes you did in your .bib file are
 covered.

Two things about authors:

1) all authors go to one field author and they are separated by
 the word "and", 2) Name of the authors are either just written
 as such ("Donald E. Knuth") or in lastname-firstname order
 separated by comma ("Knuth, Donald E."). Extensive discussion
 of this is in btxdoc.

so you can have for example this:

author = {Dee, N. and Drobny N. and K. Duke and I. Whitman and
 Fahringer D},

You had some missing }s and you should use address field, so
 instead of

publisher = {Routeledge, London and New York}

you should have

publisher = {Routeledge},
address = {London and New York}

Otherwise, so far so good. What editor you use for creating the
database? If you are on Linux, then I would strongly suggest
for beginner to use either special program for bibliographic
databases manipulation (pybiblographer) or at least Emacs with
the very excellent bibtex-mode (if you are used to Emacs).

I have attached part of your .bib file with fixed records. Take a 
look at that and have any more questions if necessary.

        Happy BibTeXing!
