A Data Mining Engine based on Internet

Data mining has emerged over the last years as a way to discover valuable information from huge amounts of data. In the industrial environment this data is usually stored at several local databases spread over the factory installations. Under this context of application, Data Mining studies need not only a set of algorithms to analyze the data, but also a way to administer the data under study. Up to the moment, available commercial solutions for data mining projects are rather closed in nature. This paper describes a prototype for a new data-mining architecture based on Internet technology developed around an application server.
