Applications of Data Mining in E-Business and Finance

Abstract

This book contains extended versions of a selection of papers from that workshop. Due to the importance of the two application areas, we have selected papers that are mostly related to finance and e-business. The chapters of this book cover the whole range of issues involved in the development of DM projects, including the ones mentioned ear lier, which often are not described. Some of these papers describe applications, includ ing interesting knowledge on how domain-specific knowledge was incorporated in the development of the DM solution and issues involved in the integration of this solution in the business process. Other papers illustrate how the fast development of IT, such as blogs or RSS feeds, opens many interesting opportunities for Data Mining and propose solutions to address them.
