An Object-Oriented approach to the design of On Line Analytical Processing (OLAP) System is defined and then used to describe the estimation of its performance. The use of Unified Modeling Language (UML) to model the structure and behavior of OLAP System is demonstrated as a case study. The UML model is used to derive a performance simulation model which is then evaluated using ARENA Simulation Software. This approach demonstrates a flexible way to assess the performance of an OLAP System designed and implemented using Object-Oriented concepts.

Abstract


An Object-Oriented approach to the design of On Line Analytical Processing (OLAP) System is defined and then used to describe the estimation of its performance. The use of Unified Modeling Language (UML) to model the structure and behavior of OLAP System is demonstrated as a case study. The UML model is used to derive a performance simulation model which is then evaluated using ARENA Simulation Software. This approach demonstrates a flexible way to assess the performance of an OLAP System designed and implemented using Object-Oriented concepts.
