Multi-database mining has been recognized recently as an important and
strategically essential area of research in data mining. In this book,
we discuss various issues regarding the systematic and efficient
development of multi-database mining applications. It explains how
systematically one could prepare data warehouses at different branches.
As appropriate multi-database mining technique is essential to develop
better applications. Also, the efficiency of a multi-database mining
application could be improved by processing more patterns in the
application. A faster algorithm could also play an important role in
developing a better application. Thus the efficiency of a multi-database
mining application could be enhanced by choosing an appropriate
multi-database mining model, an appropriate pattern synthesizing
technique, a better pattern representation technique, and an efficient
algorithm for solving the problem. This book illustrates each of these
issues either in the context of a specific problem, or in general.
