Abstract
Distributed data mining is originated from the need of mining over decentralised data sources. Data mining techniques involving in such complex environment must encounter great dynamics due to changes in the system can affect the overall performance of the system. Agent computing whose aim is to deal with complex systems has revealed opportunities to improve distributed data mining systems in a number of ways. This paper surveys the integration of multi-agent system and distributed data mining, also known as agent-based distributed data mining, in terms of significance, system overview, existing systems, and research trends.
