Keywords: patterns, data mining

Pattern recognition and data mining techniques reduce the complexity of managing huge data volumes by producing heterogeneous knowledge artifacts, which we call patterns. The PANDA project is aimed at studying the main issues related to pattern handling. In this paper we present the preliminary results obtained: we outline the architecture of Pattern-Base Management Systems, we provide the foundations of the logical framework, and we discuss issues related to query processing.
