Navigating through multidimensional data cubes is a nontrivial task. Although On-Line Analytical Processing (OLAP) provides the capability to view multidimensional data through rollup, drill-down, and slicing-dicing, it offers minimal guidance to end users in the actual knowledge discovery process. In this article, we address this knowledge discovery problem by identifying novel and useful patterns concealed in multidimensional data that are used for effective exploration of data cubes. We present an algorithm for the DIscovery of Sk-NAvigation Rules (DISNAR), which discovers the hidden interesting patterns in the form of Sk-navigation rules using a test of skewness on the pairs of the current and its candidate drill-down lattice nodes. The rules then are used to enhance navigational capabilities, as illustrated by our rule-driven system. Extensive experimental analysis shows that the DISNAR algorithm discovers the interesting patterns with a high recall and precision with small execution time and low space overhead.

Efficiently supporting advanced OLAP visualization of multidimensional data cubes is a novel and challenging research topic, which results to be of interest for a large family of data warehouse applications relying on the management of spatio-temporal (e.g., mobile) data, scientific and statistical data, sensor network data, biological data, etc. On the other hand, the issue of visualizing multidimensional data domains has been quite neglected from the research community, since it does not belong to the well-founded conceptual-logical-physical design hierarchy inherited from relational database methodologies. Inspired from these considerations, in this article we propose an innovative advanced OLAP visualization technique that meaningfully combines (i) the so-called OLAP dimension flattening process, which allows us to extract two-dimensional OLAP views from multidimensional data cubes, and (ii) very efficient data compression techniques for such views, which allow us to generate “semantics-aware” compressed representations where data are grouped along OLAP hierarchies.

Data cubes are ubiquitous tools in data warehousing, online analytical processing, and decision support applications. Based on a selection of pre-computed and materialized aggregate values, they can dramatically speed up aggregation and summarization over large data collections. Traditionally, the emphasis has been on lowering query costs with little regard to maintenance, i.e., update cost issues. We argue that current trends require data cubes to be not only query-efficient, but also dynamic at the same time, and we also show how this can be achieved. Several array-based techniques with different tradeoffs between query and update cost are discussed in detail. We also survey selected approaches for sparse data and the popular data cube operator, CUBE. Moreover, this work includes an overview of future trends and their impact on data cubes.

The study suggests using a software platform for multidimensional data cubes in automated active phased array control stands. The application of the platform greatly facilitates and accelerates the display and analysis of very large volumes of data coming from large-aperture active phased arrays during the measurement process, so that the end user can make spontaneous data requests. The study shows the prospects of using this platform for radar systems as a whole.
