Talk:Data Mining for Mashups: Combination, Visualization, Aggregation

From MashupCamp

The only problem with many of these fun algorithms is that they're often too slow to be done as soon as a user requests it, as the running time of an algorithm combined with the web service calls (sometimes 1 per n) can make for a doubly slow algorithm. It is possible to run the algorithms while users arent looking however, and update caches at some intervals. I believe several of the complicated connection-making apps do this. Saying that, I'm currently doing some off-line processing of data but using Google Maps to present the solutions (TSP/Shortest path variations). GMaps are a great platform to show off graph algorithms, as you can use real data. Anyway I agree we should do something with all the data. Please take notes on your discussion and post them online.
