Data
warehousing allows the consolidation and storage
of data in information systems that provide executives
and managers with timely access to critical information
for strategic and tactical decision making.
Research activities and technologies of
data warehousing and OLAP are rapidly growing.
However, many issues need to be fully explored
and well understood to reach a reasonable maturity
and efficiency of such technologies.
Aim of the Workshop
Like
the previous successful DOLAP workshops held in
conjunction with CIKM, the fourth edition of the
Workshop on Data Warehousing and OLAP (DOLAP 2001)
aims to reduce the gap between the research
community and industry practitioners by
providing an international forum where both researchers
and practitioners can share their findings in
theoretical foundations, current methodologies,
practical
experiences, and new research directions in the
areas of data warehousing and OLAP.
Submission of Papers
The
workshop solicits two types of papers: regular
and industry
papers. Regular papers shall address research
topics in the following areas, but not limited
to:
·
Data warehousing foundations
·
Data modeling for data warehousing
·
Data warehouse design
·
Metadata management
·
Physical organization of data warehouses
·
View materialization
·
·
Online analytical processing
·
Conceptual
and logical modeling of multi-dimensional data
·
Multidimensional queries: evaluation
and optimization
·
Performance optimization and tuning
·
Data warehousing and the Web
·
Data warehousing applications
Industry papers shall address:
·
Data warehousing projects and applications
·
Administration tools: loading, cleaning
and transformation
·
Data Quality
·
Maintenance of data warehouses
·
Benchmarks
·
Experience and lessons
·
Software for data warehousing and
OLAP
·
Surveys
Submitted
papers should be approximately 15 double-spaced
pages. Electronic submission is highly encouraged
(Postscript, PDF, MS Word, RTF).
Full
papers should be sent to
dolap2001@cise.ufl.edu
by
July 9, 2001. Alternatively, four (4) hard copies
can be sent to Joachim Hammer at the address below.
In
addition to the full paper, authors must also
submit an abstract not to exceed 150 words in
ASCII format to the e-mail above, on or before
June 29, 2001. The abstract should also contain
the title, several descriptive keywords, as well
as the names of all authors.
Papers
will be reviewed by the program committee for
their technical merit, originality, significance,
readability, and relevance to the workshop. Authors
will receive notification of acceptance/rejection
by August 27. Camera-ready copies of accepted
papers are due on September 15, 2001, and will
be published in the workshop proceedings by ACM
Press.
It
is planned that selected accepted papers will
be considered for journal publication in a joint
special issue with the best papers of DMDW 2001.
