Abstract

Online analytical processing (OLAP) systems have been introduced to facilitate decision support applications. While most previous studies deal with the situation where the aggregate functions are applied to all cells in a given range, this paper considers a class of queries, called the Partial-MAXIMIN query, that are applied only to specified cells in a given range. We propose the Rank Index and Rank Decision Tree (RD-Tree) for efficient processing of the partial-max/min queries. Through experiments, we show our approach has an efficient and robust processing capability for partial-max/min queries.
