The search for information through data analysis implies the use of automated data mining techniques, improving the development of tools that can apply combinations of such techniques. In this work we present the applications and researches to elaborate a data mining environment, called Lupa, which provides knowledge discovery functionalities. There are many tools available that can apply combinations of such techniques, but few have the ability to guide the user during the knowledge acquisition process. Lupa not only provides common environments facilities, but also includes means of assisting, in an “intelligent” way, the user’s decision making. Assistance is provided with regards to domain modeling and algorithm selection.
