Abstract

Business Intelligence (BI) is an important area of the Decision Support Systems (DSS) discipline. Over the past years, the evolution in this area has been considerable. Similarly, in the last years, there has been a huge growth and consolidation of the Data Mining (DM) field. DM is being used with success in BI systems, but a truly DM integration with BI is lacking. This creates a gap between DM and BI systems. With the purpose of closing this gap a new DM language for BI, named as Query-Models-By-Example (QMBE), was envisaged and implemented with success, but addressing only classification rules. This paper presents an extension of QMBE language to include clustering. This represents one more step towards the integration of DM with BI, which constitutes an important issue.
