Data Mining on the Grid

• Data mining on the Grid (DMG) : finding unknown data patterns in an environment with geographically distributed data and computation.

• Data may be highly heterogeneous with a high update frequency

• A good DMG algorithm analyzes data in a distributed fashion with modest data communication overhead.

• A typical DMG algorithm involves local data analysis followed by the generation of a global data model.

Application Examples

• Finding out the dependency of the emergence of hepatitis-C on the weather patterns: access to a large hepatitis-C DB at one location and an environmental DB at another location.

• 2 major financial organizations want to cooperate. They need to share data patterns relevant to the data mining task, they do not want to share the data since it is sensitive - combining the databases may not be feasible.

• Federating Brain Data Project – Integrating several neuro-science DBs

• A major multi-national corporation wants to analyze the customer transaction records for quickly developing successful business strategies. - It has thousands of establishments through out the world

- Collecting all the data to a centralized data warehouse, followed by analysis using existing commercial data mining software,takes too long.

Telemedical Collaboration - Example

A patient living in a remote village has a heart problem.

An EEG is taken by the local doctor and all the patient’s detailsare stored in the doctor’s PC based telemedical system.

MRI and CT scans are taken within different departments of ageneral hospital and stored in the telemedical DB. A consultantcompiles a report and saves it in the DB.

If necessary, in a specialized clinic a 3D ultrasound scan is takenand further report compiled.

Requiring complicated surgery, an external specialist using VirtualReality techniques defines how the surgery should be planned.The resulting operation is placed on video for, e.g., education.

Data mining support/assistance is needed.

GridMiner – A Framework for Data Mining on Grids

System Requirements:- Algorithm and data publishing and integration- Compatibility with grid infrastructure and Grid awareness- Openness- Scalability- Security and data privacy

Functionality requirements:- Mining different kinds of knowledge in databases- Incremental data mining algorithms- Interactive mining of knowledge at multiple levels of abstraction

Conclusions

• Grid data mining is a relevant research topic• GridMiner approach may contribute to this research

domain• Collaborations are needed• IPG (Information Power Grid) is the only Grid project,

which wants to addresss knowledge discovery issues• Looking for a pilot application(s)• Open issues

- basic Grid technology: Globus, DataGrid,

Jini, JXTA ?
