Applying Grid Technologies to Distributed Data Mining

The Grid promises improvements in the effectiveness with which global businesses are managed, if it enables distributed expertise to be efficiently applied to the analysis of distributed data. We report an ESRC-funded collaboration between EPCC in Edinburgh and Curtin University of Technology in Perth, Australia, that is applying public-domain Grid technologies to secure data mining within a commercial environment. We describe this Grid infrastructure and discuss its strengths and weaknesses.
