European Project for Large Scale Data Mining
CRITIKAL, which stands for Client-server Rule Induction Technology
for Industrial Knowledge Acquisition from Large databases, is a
Pan European Project part funded by the European Community under
the Esprit Programme, with a combined investment of $2 million (1.5 million
ECU).
The basic premise for the project is the real business need for tools to enable in situ data mining against large databases in a client-server environment. The technological basis for the work of the project is XpertRule Software's mature, widely proven induction technology and its newly released XpertRule Profiler client-server induction technology which is aimed specifically at the data warehousing marketplace. The objectives of the project:
Product technology based on the results of the project will be rapidly exploited by XpertRule Software both during and after the time frame of the project. Products based on the software developed in the project will have the potential to make a significant impact on a huge world-wide marketplace which is eager to invest in demonstrable capabilities. The end-users will provide advice and guidance to XpertRule Software to assist the exploitation process. The CRITIKAL project combines the technology and commercial exploitation capabilities of XpertRule Software, the HPC application enabling skills of PAC, the HPC research and the management decision support expertise of the University of Stuttgart, and the experience of two very different large database users - GEHE in the pharmaceutical wholesale sector and the Lloyds TSB Group in the financial sector. The results of the two year
CRITIKAL European project where presented on December 9th, 1998
at the seminar on large scale data
mining at the Commonwealth Centre in London.
