This means that if one or more computers stop doing their job, the rest of the computers will still continue performing the calculations without any problems.

Itemset whose support is equal to or greater than the minimum support level defined by the user.

A classical AR extraction algorithm that uses a tree structure (a frequent pattern-tree) to efficiently generate the frequent itemsets and then generate the ARs from these.

In mathematics, a function, f, is a relationship between a given set, X, representing the domain, and another set of elements, Y, the codomain, such that a single element of the codomain corresponds to each element, x, of the domain, f(x).
