Call for Papers & Participation
3rd International Workshop on
DESIGN AND MANAGEMENT OF
DATA WAREHOUSES
(DMDW'2001)
June 4, 2001
Interlaken, Switzerland
13th Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering CAiSE'01
June 4-8, 2001
Data Warehousing embraces technology and industrial practice to systematically integrate data from multiple distributed data sources and to use that data in annotated and aggregated form to support business decision-making and enterprise management. Although many database techniques have been revisited or newly developed in the context of data warehouses, such as view maintenance and OLAP, little attention has been paid to the design and management of data warehouses to appropriately serve their purposes, i.e., to support the management of a given enterprise. This workshop is intended as a forum to fill this gap. It is the third in a series of successful workshops that started at CAiSE'99 in Heidelberg, Germany, and continued at CAiSE'00 in Stockholm, Sweden. DMDW is a workshop series devoted exclusively to Data Warehousing issues and attracts participants from both the industry and the research community.
We cordially invite researchers to submit original research papers to the 3rd workshop, and experts of the DW application industry to submit experience papers. Some possible focus areas are given below but submissions covering other data warehousing-related topics, not on this list, are welcomed as well.
