                         ===============

            Special Session on Parallel Data Warehousing

      The 1998 International Conference on Parallel and Distributed
                Processing Techniques and Applications
                               (PDPTA'98)

                          July 13 - 16, 1998
                        Las Vegas, Nevada, USA


Recent developments of database systems require to bring together 
selected 
data from multiple databases or other information sources into a 
single 
repository, called a data warehouse, suitable for direct data 
querying, 
mining and analysis. Due to the large data volume and complexity in a 
data 
warehouse, it becomes increasingly important to apply parallel 
technologies 
in data warehousing for the efficiency on data warehouse creation and 
maintenance, data mining and query processing.  This special session 
will 
provide a forum for researchers to exchange ideas and present recent 
results 
in the area of parallel data warehousing.  Topics of interest 
include, but 
not limited to, the following aspects:

* High-performance parallel architectures for data warehousing/mining 
* Parallel data loading and extraction
* Parallel data cleaning and transformation
* Parallel warehouse query processing and languages
* Parallel implementation of data cubes
* Parallel On-Line Analytical Processing (OLAP) in data warehouses
* Parallel data mining
* Parallel data warehouse (view) maintenance

Authors are invited to submit papers of at most 5 pages
