Meta-learning in grid-based data mining systems

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.
