Foreword
Data warehouse systems have become a key component of the corporate information
system architecture, in which they play a crucial role in building business
decision support systems. By collecting and consolidating data from a variety of

information basis for enterprise planning and decision making. We have
recently witnessed a rapid growth both in the number of data warehousing products
and services offered as well as in the acceptance of these technologies by industry.
