Abstract


Design patterns have demonstrated their advantages in accelerating the development of complex systems.  These advantages motivated us to investigate their integration in the design of decisional systems.  As a result of our investigation, we propose a method for data mart (DM) design, based on the reuse of multidimensional patterns (MP).  These latter are multidimensional schemas that represent typical, analytical requirements in a given domain.  In addition, MP are generic, i.e., independent of a particular operational information system.  An MP can be adapted by a decision-maker through a set of reuse operations to derive a DM schema.  Furthermore, to provide for this DM  design approach, we have developed a method for the construction of MP.
