GRIDMINER

Approximately between 1998 and 2008, Computational Grids, federations of geographically distributed heterogeneous hardware, software, databases, and other resources, are emerging in academia, between international research labs and within commercial organizations and were hot research and development topics. Built on the Internet and the World Wide Web, the Grid was considered as base for a new class of infrastructure for 21st century science and business... The GridMiner project formally started in January 2003 (however, there was a two-year preparatory research period) and has aimed to extend the state-of-art Grid technology to a completely new and societally important category of applications. It developed and thoroughly evaluated the novel concepts of knowledge discovery in databases and other large data sets attached to the Grid. The project has focused its effort on data mining and On-Line Analytical Processing (OLAP), two complementary technologies, which, if applied in..
