Association Rules Algorithms for Data Mining Process Based on Multi Agent System

Abstract : In this paper, we present a collaborative multi-agent based system for data mining. We have used two data mining model functions, clustering of variables in order to build homogeneous groups of attributes, association rules inside each of these groups and a multi-agent approach to integrate the both data mining techniques. For the association rules extraction, we use both apriori algorithm and genetic algorithm.The main goal of this paper is the evaluation of the association rules obtained by running apriori and genetic algorithm using quantitative datasets in multi agent environment.
