Authors: Akinori Abe, Norihiro Hagita, and Rumiko Matsuoka

In this paper, we introduce integrated data mining. Because of recent rapid progress in medical science as well as clinical diagnosis and treatment, it is required that an integrated and cooperative research among medical researches, biology, engineering, cultural science, and sociology. Therefore, we propose a framework called Cyber Integrated Medical Infrastructure (CIMI). In the framework, we deal with various types of data. Consequently, we need to integratedly analyze various types of data. In this paper, for medical science, we analyze the features and relationships among various types of data and show the possibility of integrated data mining.
