Mine planning is a typical engineering design function which integrate the disciplines of geology, metallurgy, geotechnics, mining and economics. The numerous uncertainties associated with geological understanding, the exposure of people to potential hazards in the work place and the need to provide a specific dollar outcome, requires a proper assessment of the risk. This paper identifies the s...

Information Mining (also known as Knowledge Discovery Process) is a growing discipline in continuous expansion. Most of the progress accomplished, are focus on the development activities (i.e. those technical activities associated with the comprehension and adaptation of data, and the implementation of data mining algorithm). According to this conceptual framework, several process models were d...

Data mining refers to the technique of obtaining hidden, previously unknown and possibly significant knowledge from humongous amount of data. Data mining uses a combination of a vast knowledge base, advanced analytical skills, and domain knowledge to unveil hidden trends and patterns which can be applied in almost any sector ranging from business to medicine, then to Engineering. Nonetheless ed...

Recent advances in high-throughput biotechnologies have led to the rapid growing research interest in reverse engineering of biomolecular systems (REBMS). 'Data-driven' approaches, i.e. data mining, can be used to extract patterns from large volumes of biochemical data at molecular-level resolution while 'design-driven' approaches, i.e. systems modeling, can be used to simulate emergent system ...

Computer-Aided Design data and Solid Models are of immense importance across the full spectrum of engineering disciplines. Current industrial estimates point to the existence of over 30 billion CAD models in the world, with increasing numbers of them including 3D solid models. While the database and data mining communities have made great strides in management of image, audio and video media, l...

An undergraduate level Software Engineering course generally consists of a team-based semester long project and emphasizes on both technical and managerial skills. Software Engineering is a practice-oriented and applied discipline and hence there is an emphasis on hands-on development, process, usage of tools in addition to theory and basic concepts. We present an approach for mining the proces...

Rapid development of engineering activities expands through a variety of rock engineering processes such as drilling, blasting, mining and mineral processing. These activities require rock dynamic fracture mechanics method to characterize the rock behavior. Dynamic fracture toughness is an important parameter for the analysis of engineering structures under dynamic loading. Several experimental...

This paper is concerned with the integration of ontology engineering and the process of knowledge discovery in databases (KDD).It presents a hybrid life, Ontology Driven Knowledge Discovery process and methodology – ODKD, which leverages both ontology engineering and KDD taking in consideration the best industry and research practices. A brief application of the life cycle is described at the e...
