A frame for mining time-space rules from distributed transaction database

The mining time-space rules is often dealed with in data mining of space database, however, with the computer technology and network technology development, the information managerment systems based on distributed database have been widely applied in finace, stock market, insurence and chain supermarket, etc. it is likelihood that there are some time-space rules in such distributed database. So how to discover the time-space rules from such distributed databases is a imnportant task. This paper discusses the methods to mine time-space rules from distributed transaction database, and a frame of mining time-space rules is put forwards in the paper.
