Research Title/Topic: Right-Time Temporal XML Data Warehouse
Supervisor: Assoc. Prof. Wenny Rahayu and Dr. Jinli Cao
Description:
This research aims to investigate the different notions of temporality concept in a multi-dimensional data warehouse, and to integrate this concept into both textual as well as spatial objects. The incorporation of these spatio-temporal aspects into a data warehouse will greatly benefit decision support system and data analysis. Due to the increased need to have constant up-to-date information for decision making in the dynamic business world, this research aims to build a data warehouse methodology which can correctly identify when the data warehouse needs to be strictly real time, or when near-real time (ie. right-time) is sufficient. XML representation will be employed in this research due to its wide adoption as the standard information encoding for web application domains.
