Abstract

The Weka4GML framework has been designed to meet the requirements of distributed data mining. In this paper, we present the Weka4GML architecture based on WSRF technology for developing meta-learning methods to deal with datasets distributed among data grid. This framework extends the Weka toolkit to support distributed execution of data mining methods, like meta-learning. The architecture and the behaviour of the proposed framework are described in this paper. We also detail the different steps needed to execute a meta-learning process on a Globus environment. Finally, the framework has been discussed and compared to related works.
