Abstract:
The present paper introduces a Multi-Agent Distributed Data Mining framework as an approach to performance and data security issues. It has been implemented by ontologies in order to incorporate semantic content to improve the intelligence and efficiency of Data Mining Agents. Each agent is only responsible for specific duties. Agents communicate and coordinate with each other to enhance data mining and keep privacy and confidentiality of data. The developed prototype shows a parallel, distributed data mining process, and a real-world use case, which integrates birth rate data registered during 2011-2012 in México by the official censuses.
