Ubiquitous Data Mining
Over the last few years, a new world of small and heterogeneous devices (mo-
bile phones, PDAs, GPS devices, intelligent meters, etc.) has emerged. They
are equipped with limited computational and communication power, and have
the ability to sense, to communicate and to interact over some communica-
tion infrastructure. These large-scale distributed systems have in many cases
to interact in real-time with their users. Ubiquitous Data Mining is an emerg-
ing area of research at the intersection of distributed and mobile systems
and advanced knowledge discovery systems. In this chapter we discuss some
introductory issues ...
