Abstract

Organizations have adopted various data mining techniques to support their decision-making and business processes. However, the mining analysis is not performed and supervised by the final user, the management of the organization, since the knowledge of mathematical models as well as expert database administration skills is required. This paper describes a distributed architecture for association rule mining analysis in the retail area, designed to be used directly by the management of an organization and implemented as a Java web application. The rule discovery algorithm is executed at the database server that hosts the source data warehouse, while the only used client tool is a web browser. The user interactively initiates the rule discovery process through a simple user interface, which is used later to browse, sort and compare the discovered rules.
