The ITSC Data Mining Solutions Center is the focal point for data mining research, development and services at the University of Alabama in Huntsville.

The DMSC conducts research in the areas of machine learning, phenomena detection, knowledge discovery and distributed mining technologies. Particular emphasis is directed toward problems involving large heterogeneous spatial data sets, such as remotely sensed data.

The Data Mining Solutions Center actively pursues collaboration in research and development in the areas of data mining and applications of data mining.

The DMSC provides a variety of specialized applications, services, and assistance to domain specialists in the application of data mining technologies to specific problems.

The Algorithm Development and Mining (ADaM) Toolkit, researched and developed by the DMSC, is available to be used for advanced data analysis and mining solutions. ADaM's component architecture is designed to take advantage of emerging computational environments such as the Web and information Grids. Individual ADaM operations can execute in a stand-alone fashion, facilitating their use in distributed and parallel processing systems. The operations -- organized as toolkits -- provide pattern recognition, image processing, optimization, and association rule mining capabilities.
