Clustering Algorithm for Files and Data in Cloud (MMR Approach)

Abstract

The gradual advancement of technologies like cloud computing, there is enough necessity to improve computing techniques. Speed and security is a problem even in this environment. In order to achieve security, the files and data in any cloud environment need to be anonymized. Clustering has been used for long as a technique to achieve this. The cloud environment is supposed to have uncertainty and the data may be heterogeneous. So, a robust algorithm is necessary in this direction. In this paper we propose an algorithm, which we call as AMMR (Advanced Min-Min Roughness) algorithm by extending the MMR algorithm developed by Tripathy. This algorithm has the characteristics like being stable, handling uncertainty and categorical data.
