An multi-process association rules mining algorithm based on message queue

The issue of association rules mining is deeply discussed in this paper. An association rules mining algorithm based on message queue is presented after summarizing the advantages and disadvantages of current mining algorithms. This method firstly uses process management component to create the processes of mining association rules and then uses the message queue to communicate the frequent itemsets of every process to improve the parallel processing capability. The principle and steps of this method are given, the experimental results show that the algorithm is efficient and effective.
