Weekly Report (Hakkı Büyükcengiz/Oct 28 - Nov 4)

I research mining and BI so i took related books from METU library, and now i am still reading two books named "BI for Customer Relationship Management" and "Knowledge Management and Business Intelligence". Also, we talked with the manager of SME, this was the first meeting so we asked what kind of a result they desire to see as a solution, roughly. Of course, there is always data to mine somewhere around, so i searched for "valuable" information sources from the web, one of these is www.tuik.gov.tr . On this web site, i see that huge amount of information is available, so relevant information can be used to mine as well, for example, all related producta selling information, and even purchasing power of these products of Turkish people in last 6 months! Furthermore, we had a talk with Erol Sayın from Industrial Engineering, he gave us a lot of valuable information. Also, i studied and learned some economical terms and concepts in order to find and analyse more information from the WEB, because our project have lots of economical aspects so i think that economical rules are very important to come up with a useful product.
