An Architecture for Integrated Online Analytical Mining
Muhammad Usman, Sohail Asghar · Journal of Emerging Technologies in Web Intelligence · 2011
is an essential element of the decision support system and permits decision makers to visualize huge operational data for quick, consistent, interactive and meaningful analysis. More recently, data mining techniques are also used together with OLAP to analyze large data sets which makes OLAP more useful and easier to apply in decision support systems. Several works in the past proved the likelihood and interest of integrating OLAP with data mining and as a result a new promising direction of Online Analytical Mining (OLAM) has emerged. In this paper, a variety of OLAM architectures in the literature were reviewed and the limitations in the previously reported work have been identified. Literature review reveals the fact that none of the previously reported OLAM architectures have integrated enhanced OLAP with data mining. We enhanced the
