定义了数据仓库领域的视图选择问题,并讨论了与该问题相关的代价模型、收益函数、代价计算、约束条件和视图索引等内容;介绍了3大类视图选择方法,即静态方法、动态方法和混合方法,以及各类方法的代表性研究成果;最后展望未来的研究方向.Definition of view selection issue in the field of data warehouses is presented, followed by the discussion of related problems, such as cost model, benefit function, cost computation, restriction condition, view index, etc. Then three categories of view selection methods, namely, static, dynamic and hybrid methods are discussed. For each method, some representative work is introduced. Finally some future trends in this area are discussed.Supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China under Grant No.60473051 (国家自然科学基金); the National High-Tech Research and Development Plan of China under Grant Nos.2007AA01Z191, 2006AA01Z230 (国家高技术研究发展计划(863)
