Materialized View Selection Using Bumble Bee Mating Optimization
Biri Arun, T. V. Vijay Kumar · International Journal of Decision Support System Technology · 2017
Decision support systems (DSS) constitute one of the most crucial components of almost every corporation's information system. Data warehouse provides the DSS with massive volumes of quality corporate data for analysis. On account of the volume of corporate data, its processing time of on-line analytical queries is huge (in hours and days). Materialized views have been used to substantially improve query performance. Nevertheless, selecting appropriate sets of materialized views is an NP-Complete problem. In this paper, a new discrete bumble bee mating inspired view selection algorithm (BBMVSA) that selects Top-K views from a multidimensional lattice has been proposed. Experimental results show that BBMVSA was able to select fairly good quality Top-K views incurring a lower TVEC. Materialization of the selected views would improve the overall data analysis of DSS and would facilitate the decision making process.
