The Coron platform [117] , [101] is a KDD toolkit organized around three main components: (1) Coron-base, (2) AssRuleX, and (3) pre- and post-processing modules. The software was registered at the “Agence pour la Protection des Programmes” (APP) and is freely available (see http://coron.loria.fr ). The Coron-base component includes a complete collection of data mining algorithms for extracting itemsets such as frequent itemsets, closed itemsets, generators and rare itemsets. In this collection we can find APriori, Close, Pascal, Eclat, Charm, and, as well, original algorithms such as ZART, Snow, Touch, and Talky-G. AssRuleX generates different sets of association rules (from itemsets), such as minimal non-redundant association rules, generic basis, and informative basis. In addition, the Coron system supports the whole life-cycle of a data mining task and proposes modules for cleaning the input dataset, and for reducing its size if necessary. The Coron toolkit is developed in Java, is operational, and was already used in several research projects.

Orion: Skycube Computation Software

Participant : Chedy Raïssi [contact person] .

Keywords:

skyline, skycube

This program implements the algorithms described in a research paper published at VLDB 2010 [111] . The software provides a list of four algorithms discussed in the paper in order to compute skycubes. This is the most efficient –in term of space usage and runtime– implementation for skycube computation (see https://github.com/leander256/Orion ).
