Data Mining and Operations Research : Excellent Field Of Research

The world is flooded with data from different sources and it is becoming increasingly challenging to extract out useful and meaningful information.   Although enterprises are building large data warehouses where they put some useful facts and dimensions to gather strategy information, maintaining such data warehouses and data marts are becoming costly.

Data mining as a subject offers useful techniques in classifying, predicting and extracting meaningful information using mathematical and scientific approaches, but there is lot to be done in discovering new algorithms and approaches to retrieving meaningful information.

Operations Research offers several mathematical techniques for optimizing and retrieving information solutions.   By researching the techniques using OR and Data mining, there is a potential to unleash exciting ways to mine and efficiently retrieve meaningful information.

This is a field that has not been unleashed yet and is a potential research area.
