Data-Mining at Work 
  "What's new in data-mining?  Who's using it and for what purpose? 
  Success stories from Attar, AbTech, BioComp, Management of 
Intelligent
  Technologies, and New Light Industries answer these questions."
  (Written by the 5 vendors)

Data-Mining in the Financial markets, A Reality Check, by Thomas 
Rathburn
  "Random events, predictable events, and common knowledge all play 
major
  roles in any data-mining project, as Thomas Rathburn explains in 
the 
  conclusion to his three-part series."

Data-Mining and Genetic Programming by Andrew Colin
  "To make intelligent real-world decisions, a data-mining package 
must
  often align with other technologies.  One such technology is 
genetic 
  programming, which derives rules by looking through a 'space' of
  possibilities.  Andrew Colin shows how data-mining can utilize 
genetic
  programming in important applications."

There is also a brief buyer's guide with 30 data-mining and 19 genetic
algorithm products, among others.
