Databases and Data Mining

Data is being accumulated, stored and transformed to resources and knowledge at an incredible rate. Database and data management provide crucial properties to make data systems useful and convenient: reliability, efficiency, scalability, concurrency control and high-level query languages. 

Data Mining pulls from existing information to seek out patterns that can make intelligent use of data repositories. Beyond finding useful patterns, database and data mining communicate and represent the data and knowledge visually via information visualization.
