An information processing apparatus having a common storage accessible by a host includes: an NIC group connected with a plurality of communication paths connected to the host; an I/O processing unit for executing I/O processing of the common storage in response to an I/O request of the host; a storing unit for holding log information for each data transfer performed from/to the host; and a communication path selection unit for selecting, as a data transfer path, a communication path having actually indicated good I/O processing performance among communication paths used in the past data transfer approximate in a communication condition by referring to the log information held by the storing unit.

Information processing apparatus and communication path selection method

Data analysis using online data summarization processing and rule-based data characteristic detection is performed at the time the transaction data is input. Online data input through an input device of a first server is stored into a transaction data memory device. A data summarizing device carries out summarization processing of online data according to stored parameters, and the resultant summary data is stored into a summary data memory device. A data joining device joins the summary data stored in the summary data memory device and the summary data transferred from a second server for the purpose of updating. In the first server, using rules generated by a rule generating device and stored in rule memory device, a detecting device detects characteristics of the summary data. Further, the results of data characteristic detection are sent to a client through.

Data analysis method and apparatus for data mining

In a data utilizing system, a statistic table exhibiting a characteristic distribution is automatically extracted from given statistic tables of data. After confirmation of distribution of the data on the extracted statistic table, data required is retrieved from the statistic table. The data utilizing system for extracting from data constituted by a set of records each composed of at least two item values each containing at least one numeric item value, a part of the records constituting a part of the data, includes: as statistic table list generating unit for generating from the data statistic tables of component data for which at least one item value is definitely specified, and for determining arithmetically characteristic quantities for the statistic tables, respectively, on the basis of differences between the statistic tables and relevant expected value distribution tables, to thereby generate a list of the statistic tables on the basis of the characteristic quantities; and a record list generating unit for generating from the data a list of records contained in all or at least one specified cell of a specified given one of the statistic tables.
