Spatial data mining is a demanding field since huge amounts of spatial data have been collected in various applications, ranging form Remote Sensing to GIS, Computer Cartography, Environmental Assessment and Planning. Although there have been efforts for spatial association rule mining, but mostly researchers discuss only the positive spatial association rules; they have not considered the spat...

This paper concerns an actual case of the business application of graph mining techniques to purchase history data that employs the use of an active mining process and the verification of the practical utility of the final results. In the case of data mining processes used up to the present time that involved iteration for analysis under given data, in contrast, active mining is based on user i...

Business and scientific organizations, nowadays, own databases containing confidential information that needs to be analyzed, through data mining techniques, in order to support their planning activities. The need for privacy is imposed due to, either legal restrictions (for medical and socio-economic databases), or the unwillingness of business organizations to share their data which are consi...

E-business has changed the face of most business functions in competitive enterprises. E-business functions are enterprise resource planning (ERP) and related systems such as supply chain management (SCM) and customer relationship management (CRM), are incorporating decision support tools and technologies. Data mining has matured as a field of basic and applied research in e-business. Effective...

Mining in general, and particularly mining for energy resources such as coal lignite, results massive impacts on the surrounding landscape ecosystems. Post-mining reclamation that takes account of disturbed ecosystem services requires a research approach links impact to functions service potentials. The method used this paper combines Driving Forces–Pressures–State–Impact–Response (DPSIR) frame...

process mining includes the automated discovery of petri nets from event logs. these event logs are the starting point for various discovery and analysis techniques of the process.  in this paper process model is developed using colored petri nets (cpns) and the supporting software package cpn tools. the restaurant process model is represented for the analysis using a combination of process min...

the first step in mining activities is rock excavation in both mine development and production. constant pressure for cost reduction and creating an improved/safe work environment for personnel has naturally resulted in increased use of mechanical excavation systems in many mining operations. also, mechanical excavation and mining is more compatible with automation, meaning possibility of reduc...
