ASD-BI is an agile “marriage” between business intelligence and data mining. It is one of the first attempts to apply an Adaptive Software Development (ASD) agile method to business intelligence systems. The ASD-BI methodology's main characteristics are adaptive to environment changes, enhance knowledge capturing and sharing, and help in implementing and achieving an organization's strategy. The focus of the chapter is to demonstrate how agile methods would enhance the integration of data mining in business intelligence systems. The chapter presents ASD-BI main characteristics and provides two case studies, one on higher education and the other on (Bibliomining). The main result of the chapter is that applying agile methodologies for integrating business intelligence and data mining systems would increase transfer of tacit knowledge and raise the strategic dimension of using the knowledge discovery process.

The increased use of information technology leads to the generation of huge amounts of data which have to be stored and analyzed by appropriate systems. Data warehouse systems allow the storage of these data in a special multidimensional data base. Based on a data warehouse, business intelligence systems provide different analysis methods such as online analytical processing (OLAP) and data mining to analyze these data. Although these systems are already widely used and the usage is still growing, their application in the area of electronic human resource management (e-HRM) is rather scarce. Therefore, the objective of this article is to depict the components and functionality of these systems and to illustrate the application possibilities and benefits of these systems by selected application examples in the context of e-HRM.

Many small-scale developers have shifted from a traditional, waterfall method for developing software to lighter weight, agile methods. Though the agile method is quite prevalent among small scale industries, there are several shortcomings in it. In this paper we describe the shortcomings in existing agile methodologies and the methods to overcome some impediments using Requirement Engineering. The best features of Agile and Requirement Engineering is combined and a tool is being created which acts as a repository of data.

Since Lunh first used the term Business Intelligence (BI) in 1958, major transformations happened in the field of information systems and technologies, especially in the area of decision support systems. BI systems are widely used in organizations and their importance is recognized. These systems present themselves as essential parts of a complete knowledge of business and an irreplaceable tool in the support to decision making. The dissemination of data mining (DM) tools is increasing in the BI field, as well as the acknowledgment of the relevance of its usage in enterprise BI systems. BI tools are friendly, iterative, and interactive, allowing business users an easy access. The user can manipulate directly data, having the ability to extract all the value contained into that business data. Problems noted in the use of DM in the field of BI is related to the fact that DM models are complex in order to be directly manipulated by business users, not including BI tools. The nonexistence of BI tools allowing business users the direct manipulation of DM models was identified as the problem. More of these issues, possible solutions and conclusions are presented in this article.


Data mining is an extraction of knowledge discovery from huge amount of data which is previously unknown and potentially useful for analytical processing and decision making. The other acronyms of data mining are such as Data archeology, Data dredging, Information harvesting and Business Intelligence. The various data mining techniques are used to find the hidden interestingness or new patter to store the data. These techniques and approaches of data mining can efficiently build the new environment for analyzing and predictions. This paper highlights data mining process and its various techniques to find the interestingness. Finally, concluded with its limitations. The objective of the paper is opens new horizons for researchers of forthcoming generations.

Recent growth and demands for dealing with increasing complexity in management, evaluation, and accreditation of higher educational institutions have led keynote academic institutions and higher education authorities to adopt and try nonconventional solutions known to business firms to account for massive data management. The development in new practices and merging technology for analytics and information management have offered different solutions such as data warehousing, big data, and business intelligence. Such solutions are gradually being installed in a number of renown universities. Due to the difference between the two firms (higher education and business industry) in nature and aims, tailor-made solutions are needed. This paper shares authors' experience in designing and implementing an educational information system in the College of Computers and Information systems at King Saud University, Saudi Arabia. The paper also highlights differences between educational intelligence and business intelligence systems. Higher education implementation aspects ensuring suitable data query service to ease the running of high educational institutions are discussed and recognized.

Only when the input data is reliable can mathematicalmodels and business intelligence systems for decisionmaking produce accurate and effective outputs. However,data taken from primary sources and gathered in a datamart may contain several anomalies that analysts mustidentify and correct. This research covers the activitiesinvolved in creating a high-quality dataset for businessintelligence and data mining. Three techniques areaddressed to achieve this goal: data validation, whichdetects and reduce anomalies and inconsistencies; datamodification, which enhances the precision and robustnessof learning algorithms; and data reduction, whichproduces a set of data with fewer characteristics andrecords but is just as insightful as the original dataset.

Method fragments for work units and workflows are identified for the support of agile methodologies. Using one such situational method engineering approach, the OPEN Process Framework, we show how the full set of these newly identified agile method fragments, each created from the relevant powertype pattern as standardized in the Australian Standard methodology metamodel of AS 4651, can be used to recreate four of the currently available agile methods: XP, Scrum, and two members of the Crystal family—thus providing an initial validation of the approach and the specifically proposed method fragments for agile software development.
