Multi-database mining has been recognized recently as an important and strategically essential
area of research in data mining. In this book we discuss various issues regarding the
systematic and efficient development of multi-database mining applications. It explains how
systematically one could prepare data warehouses at different branches. As appropriate
multi-database mining technique is essential to develop better applications. Also the
efficiency of a multi-database mining application could be improved by processing more patterns
in the application. A faster algorithm could also play an important role in developing a better
application. Thus the efficiency of a multi-database mining application could be enhanced by
choosing an appropriate multi-database mining model an appropriate pattern synthesizing
technique a better pattern representation technique and an efficient algorithm for solving
the problem. This book illustrates each of these issues either in the context of a specific
problem or in general.
