Abstract:

In this information age, processing and analyzing large amount of data to discover interesting patters are very important and challenging tasks. OLAP (Online Analytical Processing) and Data cube, together with data warehousing and data mining, have wide applications in many industries such as retailing, marketing, manufacturing, and communications. In this talk I will introduce these concepts and discuss new efficient OLAP algorithms.

Dr. Lixin Fu is currently an associate professor at Computer Science Department of University of North Carolina at Greensboro. He obtained his Ph. D. degree at University of Florida. Dr. Fu’s main research areas include databases, OLAP and data mining.
