Gathering Real OLAP Analysis Sessions: A Feedback
نویسنده
چکیده
The use of OLAP sessions, conducted by professional analysts, seems to be the best way to assess the relevance of OLAP solutions based on former queries (in particular with user-centric approaches, like recommendation or personalization of queries). However, for scholar research teams, obtaining such logs is often difficult. Moreover, the complexity of the queries produced in these logs can lead to an important treatment of them, denaturing the performed analysis. In this paper, we propose a feedback from real OLAP sessions performed by graduate students in Business Intelligence. This feedback reports the design of questionnaires and the use of an original user interface to easily conduct real OLAP sessions.

CubeLoad: A Parametric Generator of Realistic OLAP Workloads
Differently from OLTP workloads, OLAP workloads are hardly predictable due to their inherently extemporary nature. Besides, obtaining real OLAP workloads by monitoring the queries actually issued in companies and organizations is quite hard. On the other hand, hardware and software benchmarking in the industrial world, as well as comparative evaluation of novel approaches in the research commun...
متن کاملA collaborative filtering approach for recommending OLAP sessions
While OLAP has a key role in supporting effective exploration of multidimensional cubes, the huge number of aggregations and selections that can be operated on data may make the user experience disorientating. To address this issue, in the paper we propose a recommendation approach stemming from collaborative filtering. We claim that the whole sequence of queries belonging to an OLAP session is...

متن کاملPredicting Your Next OLAP Query Based on Recent Analytical Sessions
In Business Intelligence systems, users interact with data warehouses by formulating OLAP queries aimed at exploring multidimensional data cubes. Being able to predict the most likely next queries would provide a way to recommend interesting queries to users on the one hand, and could improve the efficiency of OLAP sessions on the other. In particular, query recommendation would proactively gui...
