ABSTRACT
An OLAP analysis session can be defined as an interactive session during which a user launches queries to navigate within a cube. Very often choosing which part of the cube to navigate further, and thus designing the forthcoming query, is a difficult task. In this paper, we propose to use what the OLAP users did during their former exploration of the cube as a basis for recommending OLAP queries to the user. We present a generic framework that allows to recommend OLAP queries based on the OLAP server query log. This framework is generic in the sense that changing its parameters changes the way the recommendations are computed. We show how to use this framework for recommending simple MDX queries and we provide some experimental results to validate our approach.

Query recommendations for OLAP discovery driven analysis
DOLAP '09: Proceedings of the ACM twelfth international workshop on Data warehousing and OLAPRecommending database queries is an emerging and promising field of investigation. This is of particular interest in the domain of OLAP systems where the user is left with the tedious process of navigating large datacubes. In this paper we present a ...
A personalization framework for OLAP queries
DOLAP '05: Proceedings of the 8th ACM international workshop on Data warehousing and OLAPOLAP users heavily rely on visualization of query answers for their interactive analysis of massive amounts of data. Very often, these answers cannot be visualized entirely and the user has to navigate through them to find relevant facts.In this paper, ...
