Data mining technology has emerged as a means for identifying patterns and trends from large quantities of data.The data mining technology normally adopts data integration method to generate data warehouse, on which to gather all data into a central site, and then run an algorithm against that data to extract the useful module prediction and knowledge evaluation.Web usage mining is a main research area in Web mining focused on learning about Web users and their interactions with Web sites.The motive of mining is to find users' access models automatically and quickly from the vast Web log data, such as frequent access paths, frequent access page groups and user clustering.Through web usage m i n i ng , the se rve r l og , registration information and other relative information left by user access can be mined with the user access mode which will provide foundation for decision making of organizations.This article provi de s a survey and analysis of current Web usage mining systems and technologies.
