In recent years, data warehouses have reached a prominent position in the database field, especially in the database industry. There are many issues in common between data warehouses and other database fields such as federated databases; in our opinion this fact has not been explored in its entirety. In this paper, an integrated database architecture in which data warehouses are part of the dat...

OLAP (Online Analysis Processing) applications have very special requirements to the underlying multidimensional data that differs significantly from other areas of application (e.g. the existence of highly structured dimensions). In addition, providing access and search among multiple, heterogeneous, distributed and autonomous data warehouses, especially web warehouses, has become one of the l...

The effort of data mining, especially in relation to association rules in real world business applications, is significantly important. Recently, association rules algorithms have been developed to cope with multidimensional data. In this paper we are concerned with mining association rules in data warehouses by focusing on its measurement of summarized data. We propose two algorithms: HAvg and...

In Part I (Rodriguez, et al., 2013 an optimization model was proposed to redesign the supply chain of spare parts industry under demand uncertainty in a specified planning horizon. To address large industrial problems, a Lagrangean scheme is proposed to decompose the MINLP of Part I according to the warehouses by dualizing the logic constraints that assign the warehouses to different customers,...

Warehouse automation has progressed at a rapid pace over the last decade. While the tendency has been to implement fully automated solutions, most warehouses today exist as a mixture of manually operated and fully automated material handling sections. In such a hybrid warehouse, men and machines move around goods in between sections in order to retrieve, transport and stack goods according to t...
