Exploring Multidimensional Databases: A Comprehensive Overview

This course explores the evolution and applications of multidimensional databases in data analysis, covering topics such as data warehouses, OLAP systems, and data mining. The aim is to equip students with knowledge and skills to work with immersive data environments, dealing with challenges such as spatio-temporal data streams and large data volumes.

  5. Course Summary • During the past decade,the multidimensional data model emerged for use when the objective is to analyze data rather than to perform online transactions. • In contrast to previous technologies, these databases view data as multidimensional cubes that are particularly well suited for data analysis. • Multidimensional data models have three important application areas within data analysis: • Data warehouses are large repositories that integrate data from several sources in an enterprise for analysis. • Online analytical processing (OLAP) systems provide fast answers for queries that aggregate large amounts of detail data to find overall trends. • Data mining applications seek to discover knowledge by searching semi-automatically for previously unknown patterns and relationships in multidimensional databases. CSCI-599

  6. Reading List • We divide the topics of this seminar into seven parts: • Introduction • OLAP • Approximation • Index Structures • Space Transformation • Dimension Reduction • Multidimensional Data Mining. CSCI-599

  7. AIMS: An Immersidata Management System With Immersive Environments, a user is immersed into an augmented or virtual reality environment in order to interact with people, objects, places, and databases. In order to facilitate a natural interaction (beyond keyboard and mouse), the users in typical immersive environments are traced and monitored through various sensory devices such as: tracking devices on their heads, hands, and legs, video cameras and haptic devices. We call this data type, immersidata, which is defined as the data acquired from a user's interactions with an immersive environment.Immersidata can be treated as multidimensional form of data. CSCI-599

  8. Management of immersidata is challenging • Multidimensional • Spatio-Temporal • Continuous Data Streams (CDS) • Potentially large in size and bandwidth requirements • Noisy CSCI-599
