Abstract

Computerized methods, data processing systems, and computer program products for storing of data mining models (DMMs) are provided. A new DMM is created having at least one of the following characteristics: quality and complexity. The new DMM is handled as a candidate for storing in a storage device if a predefined criterion for the characteristics is met. The sum of the sizes of the new DMM and already stored DMMs is determined. In response to the sum falling below a storage limit, the new DMM is stored in the storage device. In response to the sum exceeding the storage limit, a decision is taken based on priorities of the DMMs which DMMs to store in the storage device. The priorities depend at least on access frequencies of the DMMs. Upon a data mining request, a corresponding DMM is determined and a user is requested to confirm that data mining is to proceed if quality of the determined DMM does not fulfill a further predefined criterion.
