offer promising prospect for the application of data analysis techniques to
extract useful information for end users. Knowledge discovery from sensor data
is an emerging research area due to their wide range of potential application
of crucial importance to our society. Since sensors nodes are resource constraints
in term of memory, communication bandwidth and battery power, therefore data
mining techniques required to meet these constraints while applying to SN data.
This study presents the classification and evaluation of Data Mining (DM) methods
applied on sensor networks data, leading to more efficient techniques for resources
optimization. Plenty of research work done on sensor networks but there is none
of such study exist that focuses exclusively on data mining methods. The main
contribution in this study is classifying and comparing the published data mining
approaches in sensor networks and highlights the challenges as well as future
trends in applying data mining methods on SNs data.]]>Aggarwal, C.C., J. Han, J. Wang and P.S. Yu,20032003pp: 8192Aggarwal, C.C., J. Han, J. Wang and P.S. Yu,20042004pp: 503508Akyildiz, I.F., W.
