Abstract

The new approach that we will propose, in this paper deals with the dynamic data distribution of the data warehouse (DWH) on a set of servers. This distribution is different from the "classical" one which depends on how data is used. It consists in distributing data when the machine reaches its storage limit capacity. The proposed approach insures the scalability and exploits the storage and processing resources available in the organization using the DWH. It is worth noting that our approach is based on a multi-agent model mixed with the scalability distribution proposed by the Scalable Distributed Data Structures.Our multi-agent model is made up of stationary agent classes: Client, Dispatcher, Domain and Server, and a mobile agent class: Messenger. These agents collaborate and achieve automatically the storage, splitting, redirection and access operations on the distributed DWH.In this paper, we focus on the global dynamic for the data access operation and we present the inherent experimental results.
