Mobility Extensions for Knowledge Discovery Workflows in Data Mining Grids

Abstract

In scientific and other domains, knowledge discovery has started to be widely supported by service oriented data mining grids. When access to such services is required anytime at anyplace, the integration of mobile devices and wireless networks into grids is useful. However, mobile technologies exhibit limited capabilities and movement further cause frequent changes of context, like location and, thus, network connectivity. In this paper, the integration of mobile devices as ubiquitous knowledge discovery clients is proposed. The major service classes in knowledge discovery workflow management are addressed, those are, the monitoring and controlling of executing services. The feasibility of the approach is demonstrated by means of a .NET-based prototypical implementation on PDAs for the knowledge discovery framework GridMiner
