Recently, the necessity of automatic knowledge extraction from spatial data stored in spatial databases has been increased. Spatial data mining can be defined as the extraction of implicit knowledge, spatial relationships, or other knowledge not explicitly stored in spatial databases. In order to extract useful knowledge from spatial data, an object management system that can store spatial data efficiently, provide very fast indexing & searching mechanisms, and support a distributed computing environment is needed. In this paper, we designed and implemented an open object management system for spatial data mining, that supports efficient management of spatial, aspatial, and knowledge data. In order to develop this system, we used Open OODB that is a widely used object management system. However, the lark of facilities for spatial data mining in Open OODB, we extended it to support spatial data type, dynamic class generation, object-oriented inheritance, spatial index, spatial operations, etc. In addition, for further increasement of interoperability with other spatial database management systems or data mining systems, we adopted international standards such as ODMG 2.0 for data modeling, SDTS(Spatial Data Transfer Standard) for modeling and exchanging spatial data, and OpenGIS Simple Features Specification for CORBA for connecting clients and servers efficiently.

Spatial data mining, i.e., discovery of interesting characteristics and patterns that may implicitly exists in spatial databases, is a challenging task due to the huge amounts of spatial data. Clustering algorithms are attractive for the task of class identification in spatial databases. Several methods for spatial clustering have been presented in recent years, but have the following several drawbacks increase costs due to computing distance among objects and process only memory-resident data. In this paper, we propose an efficient grid cell based spatial clustering method for spatial data mining. It focuses on resolving disadvantages of existing clustering algorithms. In details, it aims to reduce cost further for good efficiency on large databases. To do this, we devise a spatial clustering algorithm based on grid ceil structures including cell relationships.

To increase the efficiency of mining process and derive accurate spatio-temporal patterns, continuous values of attributes should be discretized prior to mining process. In this paper, we propose a discretization method which improves the mining efficiency by reducing the data size without losing the correlations in the data. The proposed method first s original trajectories into approximations using line simplification and then groups them into similar clusters. Our experiments show that the proposed approach improves the mining efficiency as well as extracts more intuitive patterns compared to existing discretization methods.

Web navigation mining is a method of discovering Web navigation patterns by analyzing the Web access log data. However, it is admitted that the log data contains noisy information that leads to the incorrect recognition of user navigation path on the Web's hyperlink structure. As a result, previous Web navigation mining systems that exploited solely the log data have not shown good performance in discovering correct Web navigation patterns efficiently, mainly due to the complex pre-processing procedure. To resolve this problem, this paper proposes a technique of amalgamating the Web's hyperlink structure information with the Web access log data to discover navigation patterns correctly and efficiently. Our implemented Web navigation mining system called SPMiner produces a WebTree from the hyperlink structure of a Web site that is used trl eliminate the possible noises in the Web log data caused by the user's abnormal navigational activities. SPMiner remarkably reduces the pre-processing overhead by using the structure of the Web, and as a result, it could analyze the user's search patterns efficiently.

Recently, data mining applications require a large amount of high-dimensional data Most algorithms for data mining applications however, do not work efficiently of high-dimensional large data because of the so-called curse of dimensionality[1] and the limitation of available memory. To overcome these problems, this paper proposes a new cell-based clustering which is more efficient than the existing algorithms for high-dimensional large data, Our clustering method provides a cell construction algorithm for dealing with high-dimensional large data and a index structure based of filtering .We do performance comparison of our cell-based clustering method with the CLIQUE method in terms of clustering time, precision, and retrieval time. Finally, the results from our experiment show that our cell-based clustering method outperform the CLIQUE method.

Database query and reporting tools, OLAP tools and data mining tools are typical front-end tools in Business Intelligence environment which is able to support gathering, consolidating and analyzing data produced from business operation activities and provide access to the result to enterprise's users. Traditional reporting tools have an advantage of creating sophisticated dynamic reports including SQL query result sets, which look like documents produced by word processors, and publishing the reports to the Web environment, but data source for the tools is limited to RDBMS. On the other hand, OLAP tools and data mining tools have an advantage of providing powerful information analysis functions on each own way, but built-in visualization components for analysis results are limited to tables or some charts. Thus, this paper presents a system that integrates three typical front-end tools to complement one another for BI environment. Traditional reporting tools only have a query editor for generating SQL statements to bring data from RDBMS. However, the reporting tool presented by this paper can extract data also from OLAP and data mining servers, because editors for OLAP and data mining query requests are added into this tool. Traditional systems produce all documents in the server side. This structure enables reporting tools to avoid repetitive process to generate documents, when many clients intend to access the same dynamic document. But, because this system targets that a few users generate documents for data analysis, this tool generates documents at the client side. Therefore, the tool has a processing mechanism to deal with a number of data despite the limited memory capacity of the report viewer in the client side. Also, this reporting tool has data structure for integrating data from three kinds of data sources into one document. Finally, most of traditional front-end tools for BI are dependent on data source architecture from specific vendor. To overcome the problem, this system uses XMLA that is a protocol based on web service to access to data sources for OLAP and data mining services from various vendors.

Web usage mining is the technique of data mining that analyzes web users' usage patterns by large web log. To use the web usage mining technique, we have to classify correctly users and users session in preprocessing, but can't classify them completely by only log files with standard web log format. To classify users and user session there are many problems like local cache, firewall, ISP, user privacy, cookey etc., but there isn't any definite method to solve the problems now. Especially local cache problem is the most difficult problem to classify user session which is used as input in web mining systems. In this paper we propose a heuristic method which solves local cache problem by using only click stream data of server side like referrer log, agent log and access log, classifies user sessions and completes session.

Communication log data consist of communication events such as sending and receiving e-mail or instance message and visiting web sites, etc. Many countries including USA and EU enforce the retention of these data on the communication service providers for the purpose of investigating or detecting criminals through the Internet. Because size of the retained data is very large, the efficient method for extracting valuable information from the data is needed for Law Enforcement Authorities to use the retained data. This paper defines the Interactive Communication Sequence Patterns(ICSPs) that is the important information when each communication event in communication log data consists of sender, receiver, and timestamp of this event. We also define a Mining(FDICSP) problem to discover such patterns and propose a method called Fast Discovering Interactive Communication Sequence Pattern(FDICSP) to solve this problem. FDICSP focuses on the characteristics of ICS to reduce the search space when it finds longer sequences by using shorter sequences. Thus, FDICSP can find Interactive Communication Sequence Patterns efficiently.
