The STALEMATE Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (KDD) Lab provides a testbed for applications generated in the course of the Knowledge-Based System Design (KBSD) Environment Project at GNU and its Mozilla-based enhancement effort at mozdev. The KBSD Environment is a knowledge-management tool for knowledge base-oriented simulation and for template-driven generation of a class of data-mining and data-warehousing applications in C/C++, Java, SQL and XML. The applications involved are targeted at:

the e-business community through the W3fect suite, consisting of DatExtract, DatAnalyze and DatPredict and addressing:

• the horizontal organization in general at strategic, tactical and operational levels of generic primary processes and of the secondary-process departments for finance, research and development, purchasing, marketing, personnel and automation
• the vertical market for computational finance and financial engineering in particular, with the wholesale processes applying within the financial markets viewed as primary and considered at the policy, management and administrative levels

the Dmoz (Mozilla Open Directory Project) community and support for human-oriented data mining on the Web through MyBroker, Wherehouse and SimuKnowl

the gaming community through simulation with ChequeM8 in support of player decision making in a world where virtual reality and real time converge

Testing of system-dependent implementations is geared toward Free-Software platforms, such as GNU and Linux, along with open-source and certain proprietary operating and application environments and versions of UNIX provided by some major vendors.
