Abstract
Focuses in KDD research are being extended from individual techniques to KDD process, while KDD systems have been rapidly evolving from the early stand-alone ones to the current large, Distributed KDD (DKDD) systems. In this paper, we concentrate on the architectural as- pect of Distributed KDD systems from the perspective of CSCW (treating DKDD as a special case of CSCW). After summarizing the requirements needed to support Distributed KDD, we describe a Client/Server architecture for DKDD that is “traditional” for CSCW in general. Then we propose a Multi-Agent (MAS) based architecture for DKDD. Compared with the traditional Client/Server architecture, the MAS based architecture is better in terms of simplicity and flexibility, and particu- larly useful in modeling and providing support to cooperative activities (communication, negotiation, coordination and collaboration).
