ABSTRACT
OLAP 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, we propose a framework for personalizing OLAP queries. In this framework, the user is asked to give his (her) preferences and a visualization constraint, that can be for instance the limitations imposed by the device used to display the answer to a query. Given this, for each query, our method computes the part of the answer that respects both the user preferences and the visualization constraint. In addition, a personalized structure for the visualization is proposed.

A framework for recommending OLAP queries
DOLAP '08: Proceedings of the ACM 11th international workshop on Data warehousing and OLAPAn 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 ...
