-------------------------------------------------------------------
Outline:
--------
Traditional relational database systems support robust and efficient
On-Line Transaction Processing (OLTP) on operational data. However,
the tools in these systems do not support the complex decision making
activities required by many organizations for their effective management.
This has led to the development of new tools, known as On-Line Analytical
Processing (OLAP), which need a separate data repository for the
effective use of these tools. This repository is called a data warehouse
that selects data from many operational data sources. OLAP tools often require
that data in the warehouse to be stored in a specialised form, called a multidimensional
database, and extensions to traditional query languages, such as SQL.
Today, many organizations are building, or planning to develop a data warehouse for
their analytical processing needs. The successful implementation of a data warehouse
depends on data extraction, transformation and transportation tools which deliver
accurate and consistent data.
In this workshop, we invite papers discussing the research issues related to
data warehouse design, implementation, maintenance, and OLAP technology, and also
industrial experiences on dealing with data warehousing.
The major topics of interest include but are not limited to:
------
Data Warehouse Architecture
Data Quality
Transaction Processing in Data Warehouses
Design and Maintenance of Metadata Repository
Multidimensional Data Model
Decision Support Systems
ROLAP/MOLAP Systems
Warehouse Data Maintenance
Materialized View Maintenance/Adaptation
Query Optimization
Multidimensional Query Languages
Virtual Organization
Analytical front-end tools
Warehouse Implementation
Development of Data warehouse applications
