Knowledge Discovery (KD ) It is an interdisciplinary area focusing upon methodologies for extracting knowledge[2]* (useful knowledge) from data. The ongoing rapid growth of online data due to the Internet and the widespread use of databases have created an immense need for KD methodologies. The challenge of extracting knowledge from data draws upon research in statistics, databases, pattern recognition, machine learning, data visualization, optimization, and high-performance computing, to deliver advanced business intelligence and web discovery solutions [1]. KD is widely used data mining technique which is a process that includes data preparation and selection, data cleansing, incorporating prior knowledge on data sets and interpreting accurate solutions from the observed results to be applied to benefit the business [3]. Data mining is considered the core step of knowledge discovery process [6]**. Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery are terms used interchangeably. Ot...

Foobar is a slang term used in the IT world as a placeholder to refer to generic examples or temporary files or programs that are to be deleted. The technical term for a word like foobar is a metasyntactic variable*. These types of terms are used to name variables, programs or other parts of code [1]. It cames from the use of foo in a programming context is generally credited to the Tech Model Railroad Club (TMRC) of MIT.   For instance, a computer science professor may be discussing different file formats . In this case, he would call the generic-example file foo or foobar, then list the extensions associated with the file formats (e.g. foobar.txt, foobar.gif, foobar.exe, foobar.tar). When foo or foobar is used, everyone understands that these are just examples, and they don't really exist [2]. *A metasyntactic variable is a placeholder name used in computer science , a word without meaning intended to be substituted by some objects pertaining to the context where...
