Abstract
Advances in the technology frontier have resulted in major disruptions and transformations in the enterprise-wide information technology infrastructures. For the past three decades, classical database management systems have maintained a feverish pace in realizing significant efficiencies in dealing with the vast amount of information that needs to be maintained to model the operational characteristics of large-scale enterprises. Database research and development advances have primarily been focused in the areas of advanced data models, declarative query languages, high throughput transaction processing and database reliability, etc. In the intervening years especially in the 1990s, data warehousing and data analysis emerged as a major research and technology frontier. In particular, it was realized that transactional information at the enterprise level can be collated and analyzed to enable data-centric decision making.
