| From data manipulation to data exploration--a new frontier |
An explosive advancement of network systems and computing power has brought us powerful tools to search and extract valuable information from (seemingly unrelated)sets of (NOT-so-well-defined) data. It is now possible to identify an individual INSTANCE (datum) which satisfies a required set of conditions out of huge (hostile) data. DATA MINING and other related disciplines seem to emerge as a new frontier.
