A new web based data mining exploration and reporting tool for decision makers

The current DSS tools are generally built as “desktop applications” and designed for the use of data mining experts. In this paper, design and implementation of ASMINER, a new web-based data mining exploration and reporting tool, is introduced. ASMINER enables both decision makers and also knowledge workers, exploring and reporting with three data mining techniques (decision trees, clustering and association rules mining), by presenting a scalable, user-friendly and fully web-based thin client data mining tool. The approach and the tools of ASMINER have a significant potential at giving an opportunity to knowledge workers to participate in decision making phases.
