摘要
It is important for telecom companies to make sense of the large number of data they have accumulated over the years. This paper reviews the concepts and the techniques of knowledge discovery in databases (KDD), and surveys applications of this technology in the telecommunications sector all over the world. It also discusses some possible applications of this technology in China, and reports a preliminary result of the first attempt to apply KDD technique in telephone traffic volume prediction. It concludes that KDD is a promising technology that can help to enhance-the competitiveness of China's telecom companies in the face of looming competition in a liberated market.
