Companies no longer follow the traditional philosophy of capturing market
share by producing large volumes of standardized products. Businesses must
now be able to quickly respond to today's market needs and predict the
future demands and expectations of their market base. Data mining has
important and crucial applications in manufacturing and engineering. Modern
organizations generate large volumes of data. This data include knowledge,
patterns, and information that could lead to increased efficiencies, cost
reduction and reliable operations. Knowledge generated from data mining
process is an important factor in the success of these industries in today's
competitive and global market. The aim of this special issue is to identify
the research issues related to data mining and its application in
engineering and business environment in light of global challenges. The goal
of this special issue is to cover a variety of topics and research issues
related to data mining with specific application to knowledge extraction and
management.

 

Topics include but are not limited to:

 

A. Data mining concepts and applications

1.	Data mining for manufacturing applications/system.
2.	Fault detection and diagnostics
3.	Reliability and Maintenance
4.	Process and quality control
5.	CAD/CAM & engineering design
6.	Material requirement planning (MRP).
7.	Resource planning and scheduling
8.	Concurrent Engineering
9.	Decision support systems in design and manufacturing
10.	New Product Development - NPD
11.	Lean manufacturing
12.	Other related subjects 

B. Data Mining Frameworks, Methods and Technologies

1.	Data mining and knowledge acquisition
2.	Genetic algorithms
3.	Knowledge discovery
4.	Expert systems
5.	Machine learning algorithms
6.	Artificial Neural Networks (ANN)
7.	Other related subjects 

C. Case Studies
