Web-based Parallel/Distributed Medical Data Mining Using Software Agents

Kargupta H., Stafford B., Hamzaoglu I.

This paper describes an experimental parallel /distributed data mining system PADMA (PArallel Data Mining Agents) that uses software agents for local data accessing and analysis and a web based interface for interactive data visualization. It also presents the results of applying PADMA for detecting patterns in unstructured texts of postmortem reports and laboratory test data for Hepatitis C patients.
