SummaryBackground: Medicine and biomedical sciences have become data-intensive fields, which, at the same time, enable the application of data-driven approaches and require sophisticated data analysis and data mining methods. Biomedical informatics provides a proper interdisciplinary context to integrate data and knowledge when processing available information, with the aim of giving effective decision-making support in clinics and translational research.Objectives: To reflect on different perspectives related to the role of data analysis and data mining in biomedical informatics. Methods: On the occasion of the 50th year of Methods of Information in Medicine a symposium was organized, which reflected on opportunities, challenges and priorities of organizing, representing and analysing data, information and knowledge in biomedicine and health care. The contributions of experts with a variety of backgrounds in the area of biomedical data analysis have been collected as one outcome of this symposium, in order to provide a broad, though coherent, overview of some of the most interesting aspects of the field.Results: The paper presents sections on data accumulation and data-driven approaches in medical informatics, data and knowledge integration, statistical issues for the evaluation of data mining models, translational bioinformatics and bioinformatics aspects of genetic epidemiology.Conclusions: Biomedical informatics represents a natural framework to properly and effectively apply data analysis and data mining methods in a decision-making context. In the future, it will be necessary to preserve the inclusive nature of the field and to foster an increasing sharing of data and methods between researchers.

Data-driven quality evaluation in the stamping process of car body parts is quite promising because dependencies in the process have not yet been sufficiently researched. However, the application of data mining methods for the process in stamping plants would require a large number of sample data sets. Today, acquiring these data represents a major challenge, because the necessary data are inadequately measured, recorded or stored. Thus, the preconditions for the sample data acquisition must first be created before being able to investigate any correlations. In addition, the process conditions change over time due to wear mechanisms. Therefore, the results do not remain valid and a constant data acquisition is required. In this publication, the current situation in stamping plants regarding the process robustness will be first discussed and the need for data-driven methods will be shown. Subsequently, the state of technology regarding the possibility of collecting the sample data sets for quality analysis in producing car body parts will be researched. At the end of this work, an overview will be provided concerning how this data collection was implemented at BMW as well as what kind of potential can be expected.

E-business domains have been considered killer domains for different data analysis techniques. Most researchers have examined data mining (DM) techniques to analyze the databases behind E-business websites. DM has shown interesting results, but this technique presents some restrictions concerning the content of the database and the level of expertise of the users interpreting the results. In this paper, the authors show that successful and more sophisticated results can be obtained using other analysis techniques, such as Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) and Spatial OLAP (SOLAP). Thus, the authors propose a framework that fuses or integrates OLAP with SOLAP techniques in an E-business domain to perform easier and more user-friendly data analysis (non-spatial and spatial) and improve decision making. In addition, the authors apply the framework to an E-business website related to online job seekers in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The results can be used effectively by decision makers to make crucial decisions in the job market of the UAE.

This article critically examines the opportunities and challenges that automated decision-making (ADM) poses for environmental impact assessments (EIAs) as a crucial aspect of environmental law. It argues that while fully or partially automating discretionary EIA decisions is legally and technically problematic, there is significant potential for data-driven decision-making tools to provide superior analysis and predictions to better inform EIA processes. Discretionary decision-making is desirable for EIA decisions given the inherent complexity associated with environmental regulation and the prediction of future impacts. This article demonstrates that current ADM tools cannot adequately replicate human discretionary processes for EIAs—even if there is human oversight and review of automated outputs. Instead of fully or partially automating EIA decisions, data-driven decision-making can be more appropriately deployed to enhance data analysis and predictions to optimise EIA decision-making processes. This latter type of ADM can augment decision-making processes without displacing the critical role of human discretion in weighing the complex environmental, social and economic considerations inherent in EIA determinations.

The effective treatment of cancer is not very easy since diagnosis of cancer involves many stages of treatment with gradually changing lifestyles. Physicians play vital role in identifying the correct cause and feel ambiguity for making perfect decisions about hundreds of data available from the internet resource. IDA (Intelligent Data Analysis) which is a part from Data Mining techniques is quiet useful to most of the physicians for decision making about types of cancers. IDA facilitates physicians to classify, detect and analyze the cancer outcome to patients. Healthcare Management System also aids the practitioners to practically search, analyze and compare the result analysis of the patient with existing data in the HMS and guide proper treatment to the cancer affected patient. Health care data analysis comprises enormous data with diversity of health information. One among the most important points that pull down the practitioner’s confidence is that utility of latest software and most sophisticated computing machines. This put them in to the state of confusion for proper and elegant decision making for treating the cancer affected patients. Problems in user interaction, lack of awareness in data mining, improper knowledge in electronic guidelines makes physicians to work with old methods of treatment. Traditional medical practicing and modern methods of computing do not match either because of ignorance. IDA and HMS have significant impact for cancer treatment with speedy diagnosis and faster recovery. This also shows great impact on costs, clinical outcomes and proper guidelines for clinical approach. The prime motto of this survey article is to analyze the survey application, bring out the importance of comparison strategies of IDA to improve decision making for medical practitioner for effective cancer treatment.
