IBM'S INTELLIGENT MINER DIGS OUT THE GOOD STUFF IBM plans to offer companies "data mining" software and services, allowing them to make better use of disparate pieces of information stored in their computer systems. The Intelligent Miner software will be available on IBM's RS/6000 servers by the fall, and on other platforms by year end. The company also plans to develop Intelligent Decision Server software for local area network-based information analysis. (Investor's Business Daily 3 Apr 96 A9)

Anyone have any _specific_ ideas on how their Intelligent Miner system works? It would appear to be relevant to the identity-spoofing discussions. -Allen
