Development of computer networks and distributed database technologies has encouraged distributed data storage and a new technical generation of distributed data mining. This field has a wide range of applications. The present paper deals with applying multi-agent technology in data mining. At first we talk about agent and data mining technologies development briefly. Then, the benefits of combining multi-agent with distributed data mining would be explained. And at last a distributed data mining model based on multi-agent technology will be offered and the mining methods of this model on association rules in the distributed databases will be analyzed.
