The Konstanz Information Miner is a modular environment which enables easy visual assembly and interactive execution of a data pipeline. It is designed as a teaching, research and collaboration platform, which enables easy integration of new algorithms, data manipulation or visualization methods as new modules or nodes. In this paper we describe some of the design aspects of the underlying architecture and briefly sketch how new nodes can be incorporated. Large volumes of data are often generated during simulations and the need for modular data analysis environments has increased dramatically over the past years. In order to make use of the vast variety of data analysis methods around, it is essential that such an environment is easy and intuitive to use, allows for quick and interactive changes to the analysis and enables the user to visually explore the results. To meet these challenges a data pipelining environment is an appropriate model.
KNIME, the Konstanz information miner REF , is an open source tool suite for the assembly of data analysis pipelines.
