Data mining on the Grid

This is neat. I just read about the production release of Weka4WS, a Grid-enabled data mining platform. For those of you who are familiar with Weka, it is a product out of the University of Waikato, New Zealand. It is a Java-based data mining platform with many commonly used machine learning and decision-making algorithms. If you would like more information about Weka, I would suggest you grab a copy of the book entitled "Data Mining: Practical Machine Learning Tools and Techniques, Second Edition (Morgan Kaufmann Series in Data Management Systems).

Weka4WS uses the WSRF features of Globus toolkit 4.0.4. So, in order to install and use Weka4WS, you must first need to install the GT4 platform and this can be daunting for new users to the Grid. Good luck!
