This paper presents the author’s view on the main challenges for autonomous operation in surface mining environment. A brief overview of the mine operation is presented showing the number of components that needs to interact in a safe, robust and efficient manner. Successful implementation of autonomous systems in field robotic applications are presented with a discussion of the fundamental pro...

Search is the process of locating information that matches a given query. Extract, Transform and Load (ETL) editors provide a user friendly and flexible environment for creating operation chains and digging into and explore data. In this paper, we describe the implementation of a process mining framework, the EVS Process Miner, which incorporates ideas from search and ETL. We also describe two ...

In many languages, the English word “computer” is often literally translated to “the counting machine.” Counting is apparently the most elementary operation that a computer can do, and thus it should be trivial to a computer to count. This, however, is a misconception. The apparently simple operation of enumeration and counting is actually computationally hard. It is also one of the most import...

When processing track sequences, it is time-consuming and difficult to separate clusters with substantial density variations deal the problem of classic clustering methods mining common flight patterns in airspace. To overcome these issues, this research proposes a clustering-based technique for air traffic trajectory operation patterns. The data are first decoded rebuilt using motion-based tra...

Privacy-preserving data mining seeks to empower conventional data mining techniques with the desirable property of preserving data privacy during the mining process. Given existing approaches on privacy-preserving decision tree induction for horizontally and vertically partitioned data involving multiple parties, we extend current work to multiple parties holding arbitrarily partitioned data. A...

the concentrations of potentially toxic elements (as, sb, and hg) and some trace elements in 36 topsoil samples and 18 agricultural soil samples were measured at the aq-darreh river watershed, nw iran. based on the results of the chemical analysis and comparing them with different standards, it seems that the soils of the aq-darreh river watershed are polluted with as and sb. this pollution res...

Software Performance is a critical aspect for all software products. In terms of Software Operation Knowledge, it concerns knowledge about the software product’s performance when it is used by the end-users. In this paper the authors suggest data mining techniques that can be used to analyze software operation data in order to extract knowledge about the performance of a software product when i...
