Summary of the Scope of this Book:
The main goal of the new field of data mining is the analysis of large and complex datasets. Some very important datasets may be derived from business and industrial activities. This kind of data is known as “enterprise data.” The common characteristic of such datasets is that the analyst wishes to analyze them for the purpose of designing a more cost-effective strategy for optimizing some type of performance measure, such as reducing production time, improving quality, eliminating wastes, or maximizing profit. Data in this category may describe different scheduling scenarios in a manufacturing environment, quality control of some process, fault diagnosis in the operation of a machine or process, risk analysis when issuing credit to applicants, management of supply chains in a manufacturing system, or data for business related decision-making.

Personnel:
Dr. Isiah Warner (Email: iwarner@lsu.edu) (Principal Investigator), Dr. Su-Seng Pang (Co-Principal Investigator), Dr. Frank Neubrander (Co-Principal Investigator), Dr. Lawrence Smolinsky (Co-Principal Investigator), and Dr. Evangelos Triantaphyllou (Co-Principal Investigator).
The budget is for $492,560 and it will expire on December 31, 2010.
Project Summary:
This project is awarding scholarships to thirty students annually within the fields of science and mathematics. They are recruiting high school students who have demonstrated great potential for success and retaining them through the implementation of various student support and mentoring programs. The project is enhancing the students' educational experiences through workshops, seminars, K-12 and community outreach opportunities. Each scholar is participating in computer technology training through the LSU Student Application and Resource Training (START) Program.
Each scholar is creating a portfolio of academic work that is annually updated. Progress is being measured based on student academic performance, progress in computer technology, and their participation and attendance in the project academic enhancement activities. Graduation interviews are providing additional insight to project improvement.
If you feel you qualify please contact any of the PIs immediately.

Source of funding: GAANN (Graduate Assistance in Areas of National Need) Program from the U.S. Department of Education. Lead PI: Dr. E. Triantaphyllou, Co-PI: Dr. S.S. Iyengar. Other Key Personnel in the Project: Drs. D. Carver, J. Chen, P. Chen, A. Durresi, R. Kannan, B. Karki, T. Kosar, S.J. Park, S. Pang, and A. Wilson.
The project's budget is for $126,675.00 per year for three years (for a total of $380,025). Beyond that time two additional years of support will be provided by the Computer Science Department at LSU. These funds will be used to support 3 students to do their doctoral studies in the above research area. During the first 3 years each student will be receiving from this project to cover all their expences at LSU (living, tution, etc). After that, students will be receiving support from LSU in the form of teaching assistantships for two additional years. In order to qualify, candidates will have to:
-
(1) Be of outstanding academic / research standing and potential.
(2) Be U.S. citizens or Permanent Residents and
(3) Be able to document that they are in financial need.
Currently, there are openings for these research assistantships and qualified (as described above) students are strongly encouraged to contact Dr. Triantaphyllou as soon as possible. Minority students or students who have been affected by last year's hurricanes are especially encouraged to apply.

Source of funding: Louisiana's Board of Regents (LEQSF Program) Lead PI: Dr. E. Triantaphyllou, Co-PIs: Drs. S.S. Iyengar and J. Chen.
The budget is for $45,4000 and the duration is for one year. These funds will be used to modernize the computing facilities of the above mentioned Lab by purchasing the latest PC computers, laser printers, mass storage media, and some software systems. These computing systems will be used exclusively for research and education on data mining.

Xiaoting Wang (a current Ph.D. student of Dr. Triantaphyllou) and Dr. Triantaphyllou (as the second author) had some of their current research findings on Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis been accepted for publication in the Omega Journal. These results describe some new cases of ranking irregularities when the Electre Method; a well-known and widely applied decision making method, is used to rank alternatives in multi-criteria decision analysis problems. These results demonstrate the many challenges that still exist in this important area of decision making.
