About this book
Data Mining and Multi agent Integration aims to re?ect state of the art research and development of agent mining interaction and integration (for short, agent min ing). The book was motivated by increasing interest and work in the agents data min ing, and vice versa. The interaction and integration comes about from the intrinsic challenges faced by agent technology and data mining respectively; for instance, multi agent systems face the problem of enhancing agent learning capability, and avoiding the uncertainty of self organization and intelligence emergence. Data min ing, if integrated into agent systems, can greatly enhance the learning skills of agents, and assist agents with predication of future states, thus initiating follow up action or intervention. The data mining community is now struggling with mining distributed, interactive and heterogeneous data sources. Agents can be used to man age such data sources for data access, monitoring, integration, and pattern merging from the infrastructure, gateway, message passing and pattern delivery perspectives. These two examples illustrate the potential of agent mining in handling challenges in respective communities. There is an excellent opportunity to create innovative, dual agent mining interac tion and integration technology, tools and systems which will deliver results in one new technology.

Reviews
From the reviews:
“This book promotes the latest methodological, technical, and practical advancements in the use of agents in data mining applications. … chapters include extensive bibliographies. … The book is intended for students, researchers, engineers, and practitioners, in both agent and data mining areas, who are interested in the potential of integrating agents and mining. … interested readers who are willing to make an effort to build on the book’s material will benefit from reading it.” (J. P. E. Hodgson, ACM Computing Reviews, December, 2009)
