Abstract

Multi-agent systems (MAS) are a powerful technology for the design and implementation of autonomous intelligent systems that can handle distributed problem solving in a complex environment. This technology has played an important role in the development of data mining systems in the last decade, the purpose of which is to promote the extraction of information and knowledge from a large database and to make these systems more scalable. In this chapter, the authors present a clustering system based on cooperative agents through a centralized and common ERP database to improve decision support in ERP systems. To achieve this, they use multi-agent system paradigm to distribute the complexity of k-means algorithm in several autonomous entities called agents, whose goal is to group records or observations on similar objects classes. This will help business decision makers to make good decisions and provide a very good response time by the use of the multi-agent system. To implement the proposed architecture, it is more convenient to use the JADE platform while providing a complete set of services and have agents comply with the specifications FIPA.
