Comments David Zhou, Health Care
health care is a field in which there's potential for substantial further penetration of DM.

Have just started work on a project applying DM in an area of social sciences. Think this is a field in which there's scope for substantial further penetration of DM.

John Ford, Employment - an Emerging Data Mining Field
I suggest in future surveys you include the employment field, including human resources and personnel testing. There are emerging appications in text mining of job announcements, resumes, and written materials that accompany job applications.

Muhammad Shahbaz, People working in similar areas
Is there any possibility that you can help us to make networking with the people working in similar areas. For example I am working on manufacturing databases, is it possible that I can get information that who else vote in this category? This will help a lot to understand other people's work and further developments in it.
