Texas State University-San Marcos, Department of Computer Science.https://hdl.handle.net/10877/2597Cloud computing has gained an increasing popularity over the years for its great potentials. It is a logical and forward-thinking solution for addressing key business demands. Cloud computing truly represents what enterprise IT always needs: a way to increase capacity or add capabilities on the fly without investing in new infrastructure, training new personnel, or licensing new software. Cloud computing encompasses any subscription-based or pay-per-use service that, in real time over the Internet, extends IT's existing capabilities. This study investigates how clustering algorithms in data mining can benefit from running in the "Cloud".Text14 pages1 file (.pdf)enhadoopmapreduceAmazon EC2clusteringKmeansalgorithmscloud computingframeworkclustering algorithmsdata miningComputer ScienceTechnical Report
