Abstract

A generic and extendible Multi-Agent Data Mining (MADM) framework, EMADS (the Extendible Multi-Agent Data mining System) is described. The central feature of the framework is that it avoids the use of agreed meta-language formats by supporting a system of wrappers. The advantage offered is that the system is easily extendible, so that further data agents and mining agents can simply be added to the system. A demonstration EMADS framework is currently available. The paper includes details of the EMADS architecture and the wrapper principle incorporated into it. A full description and evaluation of the framework's operation is provided by considering two MADM scenarios.
