These last years, the sources of data became very heterogeneous and massive. The term "big data" is born to indicate this phenomenon. Unfortunately, he becomes difficult to manage big data to power the decisional system, and also it increases the time of interrogation of data from data warehouses. Several research works focused recently, on the proposal for the architectures of data warehouses ...

Due to the depletion of the fossil fuels and major concerns about the security of energy in the future to produce fuels, the importance of utilizing the renewable energies is distinguished. Nowadays there has been a growing interest for biofuels. Thus, this paper reveals a general optimization model which enables the selection of preprocessing centers for the biomass, biofuel plants, and wareho...

Multidimensional data warehouses and OLAP systems do not provide adequate means for dealing with changes in dimension data, changes appearing frequently in dynamic application areas as current business systems. As data warehouses and OLAP tools serve as decision support systems they have to reflect such changes. Temporal data warehouses propose sophisticated modelling tools for covering any cha...

This study considers a supply chain that consists of n retailers, each of them facing a newsvendor problem, m warehouses and a supplier. The retailers are supplied with a single product via some warehouses. In these warehouses, the ordered amounts of goods of these retailers become available after some lead time. At the time that the goods arrive at the warehouses, demand realizations are known...

This paper presents work related to the design of distributed systems, which is useful for emerging Internet applications. We propose algorithms for searching and managing distributed information about resources and services using locally available warehouses. The concept of warehouses has been introduced in the Web Operating System (WOS) (Kropf 1999). Warehouses have the ability to decide whic...

Horizontal partitioning has evolved significantly in recent years and widely advocated by the academic and industrial communities. Horizontal Partitioning affects positively query performance, database manageability and availability. Two types of horizontal partitioning are supported: primary and referential. Horizontal fragmentation in the context of relational data warehouses is to partition ...
