ABSTRACT
Over the last few years, a new world of small and heterogeneous devices (mobile phones, PDAs, GPS devices, intelligent meters, etc.) has emerged. They are equipped with limited computational and communication power, and have the ability to sense, to communicate and to interact over some communication infrastructure. These large-scale distributed systems have in many cases to interact in real-time with their users. Ubiquitous Data Mining is an emerging area of research at the intersection of distributed and mobile systems and advanced knowledge discovery systems. In this chapter we discuss some introductory issues related to distributed mining (Section 12.2) and resourceconstraint mining (Section 12.4).
