3. Abstract
Data Mining the domain of our project , is a newly developed sub-
field of computer science engineering , it is the analysis step of
Knowledge discovery in databases(KDD ) process and is used for
extraction of data from a huge data set and make it understandable for
further use. Among the Six classes of data mining our choice of
interest and our project area is the Association Rule Mining. We will
be applying this class of data mining in an efficient and frequent
pattern for the mining of knowledge or data from Distributed System ,
which can be explained as a collection of set of computers that act ,
work and appear as one large computer.

4. Introduction
Progress in digital data acquisition, distribution, retrieval and
storage technology has resulted in the growth of massive
databases. One of the greatest challenges facing organizations
and individuals is how to turn their rapidly expanding data
collections into accessible, and actionable knowledge.
Distributed Systems are collections of computers that act and
work together and appear as a large super system with a huge
processing speed.
The association rule mining , which is one of the six classes of
Data mining, is our area of project and is a solution to the
above problem. The general form of Association Rule Mining
is :
X1,X2,X3,…..,Xn->Y
Which implies that all attributes X1,X2,..,Xn predict Y.

5. The association rule mining algorithm is given as below:
» Input: D, ,
» Output: R(D, , )
» 1: Compute F(D, )
» 2: R := {}
» 3: for all I 2 F do
» 4: R := R [ I ) {}
» 5: C1 := {{i} | i 2 I};
» 6: k := 1;
» 7: while Ck 6= {} do
» 8: // Extract all heads of confident association rules
» 9: Hk := {X 2 Ck | confidence(I X ) X,D) }
» 10: // Generate new candidate heads
» 11: for all X, Y 2 Hk,X[i] = Y [i] for 1 i k−1, and X[k] < Y [k] do
» 12: I = X [ {Y [k]}
» 13: if 8J I, |J| = k : J 2 Hk then
» 14: Ck+1 := Ck+1 [ I
» 15: end if
» 16: end for
» 17: k++
» 18: end while
» 19: // Cumulate all association rules
» 20: R := R [ {I X ) X | X 2 H1 [ · · · [ Hk}
» 21: end

6. LITERATURE SURVEY
» Frequent pattern mining has been a focused theme in
data mining research for over a decade.
» Abundant literature has been dedicated to this research
and tremendous progress has been made till now.
» It ranges from efficient and scalable algorithms for
frequent itemset mining in transaction databases to
numerous research frontiers, such as sequential pattern
mining, structured pattern mining , correlation
mining, associative classification, and frequent pattern-
based clustering, as well as their broad applications.

7. » Till date there had been a huge literature present for this
research topic, some of the IEEE papers which we have
gone through , we are naming a few of those paper’s
below :
1. Efficient and scalable methods for mining frequent
patterns.
2.Mining interesting frequent patterns.
3. Impact to data analysis and mining applications.
4.Applications of frequent patterns and Research
Directions.

8. Work Done Till Now
In this part of the presentation , we will put a light on the
various research works that have been done till now on the
entitled project and will be naming a few of them in our
presentation.

12. Future Work
The prescribed work is implemented in a local area network,
which can be extended to WAN as a future work.
An improvement could be made in the efficiency of the
system when number of computers are increased in the
distributed system.
We can also improve the efficiency of the algorithm when
large Data Sets are given as input files to the tool.
