Abstract:

GRID technology is a new emerging computation paradigm that combines distributed computers to solve a time-consuming problem using idle computing cycles. GRID computing has emerged as an important new field, distinguished from conventional distributed computing by its focus on large-scale inter-organizational resource sharing, innovative applications, and high-performance orientation. It is an evolving area of computing, where standards and technology are still being developed to enable this new paradigm.

Intelligent systems can use the emerging new field in several ways. The most important impact GRID systems can have on intelligent systems is the potential to solve computationally and data intensive problems, which are inherent to the data mining. Secondly, because of the new paradigm, the already solved problems need to be re-addressed in the light of new architecture and new requirements.

In the paper, we outline the open research questions in the field of data mining in the light of the new GRID computing paradigm.
