Abstract

Mining regular patterns in data streams is an emerging research area and also a challenging problem in present days because in Data streams new data comes continuously with varying rates. Closed item set mining gained lot of implication in data mining research from conventional mining methods. So in this paper we propose a narrative approach called CRPDS (Closed Regular Patterns in Data Streams) with vertical data format using sliding window model. To our knowledge no method has been proposed to mine closed regular patterns in data streams. As the stream flows our CRPDS-method mines closed regular itemsets based on regularity threshold and user given support count. The experimental results show that the proposed method is efficient and scalable in terms of memory and time.

Abstract

The paper presents the data warehousing architecture and practices used at a major. Retailing company. Many considerations were assessed when deciding which data warehousing architecture to adopt. The paper discusses the two pre-dominant styles in data warehousing, namely the “Bill Inmon Style” or the top-down approach and the “Ralph Kimball Style” or the bottom-up approach. The com-pany chose the Inman style due to a unique combination of circumstances in their business and technical environments, which are being discussed in detail. Much of the information presented in this paper is based upon the direct experiences of the lead data architect assigned to the projects under which this retailing company’s customer data warehouse evolved. The architecture has evolved over time and currently has been accepted at the company as a best practice. It is interesting to mention that both the hardware platform (CPU and disk drives) and Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) soft-ware employed today at this company for data ware-housing is not the same as was selected for the first instantiation. The implication was that the best plan or practice was a flexible one. There were many challenges, like organizational, technical, data sourcing and data naming, needed to be solved during the pre-project, initial stages, and throughout the project and beyond. The initial data warehouse, implemented in 1996, was termed an overall success and approved for expansion. The current data warehouse data are being used by over six hundred registered users to fine-tune customer marketing and leverage and share data in an enterprise manner. The data warehouse has allowed the company to strengthen customer relation-ship management (CRM) core capabilities and business partnerships. Today, there are many departments benefiting from queries and requests for data warehouse data, many anticipated, some not.
