Abstract :
The information revolution is generating mountains of data, from sources as diverse as credit card transactions, telephone calls, Web clickstreams, space science, and human genome research. At the same time, faster and cheaper storage technology lets us store greater amounts of data online, and better database management system software provides easy access to those databases. The paper discusses data mining applications and trends
