Multiagent Framework for Bio-data Mining

Abstract. This paper proposes to apply multiagent based data min-ing technologies to biological data analysis. The rationale is justified from multiple perspectives with an emphasis on biological context. Fol-lowed by that, an initial multiagent based bio-data mining framework is presented. Based on the framework, we developed a prototype system to demonstrate how it helps the biologists to perform a comprehensive mining task for answering biological questions. The system offers a new way to reuse biological datasets and available data mining algorithms with ease.
