A CLOUD BASED DATA WAREHOUSE MODEL USING MODEL DRIVEN ARCHITECTURE APPROACH TO GENERATE MATERIALIZE VIEWS FOR BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE

摘要

Cloud computing based on the recent Information and Computing Technologies (ICT) offers software programs, platforms, infrastructure etc. as services. On the other hand, Business Intelligence (BI) on the Cloud is an assistance model that helps organizations further in their strategic business interests and it is for this reason, every organization is looking forward for its generation and effective usage. Business Intelligence systems and technologies are essentially designed in context to Data Warehouse because of the complexity in the decision making process which needs to be analyzed a huge historical data. And, authors suggest the utilization of materialized views to generate fast and relevant business reports by using data from data warehouse to formulate the Business Intelligence. Cloud SaaS refers to a cloud computing service model in which the software applications are offered as services. With the continuous advancements in ICT, the organizations are under constant pressure of replacing the older ones. Model Driven Architecture (MDA) is a software development model that aims at minimizing the impact of these technological advancements on software applications development and it is also the suggested model in the design the multi dimensional schema for the data warehouse. In this paper, authors are suggesting a cloud based data warehouse model and business intelligence through materialized views as a service in SaaS model of SOA using MDA approach.
