Abstract :
This paper describes an agent framework to support spatial data mining of air pollution data. A Web-based solution, APMF (Air Pollution Mining Framework), is developed to investigate the effect of meteorological and air pollutant elements on air pollution. It makes use of three types of agents: collect agents, coordinate agents and query/mining agents. Query/mining agents interact with the user, receive user queries and mining requests, and deliver the results. Coordinate agents help to prepare the data resources for the querying tasks. Collect agents provide access to a heterogeneous collection of Web sources. In order to standardize data exchanges and query/mining process descriptions, an XML-based language, DQML, is developed. A prototype of the APMF is implemented with a Java servlet and JavaLite
