A Bochner Type Theorem for Inductive Limits of Gelfand Pairs
In this paper we prove a generalisation of Bochner's theorem. Our result
deals with Olshanski's spherical pairs defined as inductive limits of
increasing sequences of Gelfand Pairs.Comment: 17 pages, To appear in Annales de l'Institut Fourier, Volume 58, 200
Pattern tree-based XOLAP rollup operator for XML complex hierarchies
With the rise of XML as a standard for representing business data, XML data
warehousing appears as a suitable solution for decision-support applications.
In this context, it is necessary to allow OLAP analyses on XML data cubes.
Thus, XQuery extensions are needed. To define a formal framework and allow
much-needed performance optimizations on analytical queries expressed in
XQuery, defining an algebra is desirable. However, XML-OLAP (XOLAP) algebras
from the literature still largely rely on the relational model. Hence, we
propose in this paper a rollup operator based on a pattern tree in order to
handle multidimensional XML data expressed within complex hierarchies
Benchmarking Summarizability Processing in XML Warehouses with Complex Hierarchies
Business Intelligence plays an important role in decision making. Based on
data warehouses and Online Analytical Processing, a business intelligence tool
can be used to analyze complex data. Still, summarizability issues in data
warehouses cause ineffective analyses that may become critical problems to
businesses. To settle this issue, many researchers have studied and proposed
various solutions, both in relational and XML data warehouses. However, they
find difficulty in evaluating the performance of their proposals since the
available benchmarks lack complex hierarchies. In order to contribute to
summarizability analysis, this paper proposes an extension to the XML warehouse
benchmark (XWeB) with complex hierarchies. The benchmark enables us to generate
XML data warehouses with scalable complex hierarchies as well as
summarizability processing. We experimentally demonstrated that complex
hierarchies can definitely be included into a benchmark dataset, and that our
benchmark is able to compare two alternative approaches dealing with
summarizability issues.Comment: 15th International Workshop on Data Warehousing and OLAP (DOLAP
