| - | The assignment is carried out in groups of 3 to 4 people. Before you can submit assignment part I, you will have to register in a group. The link to register a group is included below. Please to select your group before or on 25/10/2018. | + | [[http://www.tpc.org|TPC]] is a non-profit corporation that defines transaction processing and database benchmarks and disseminates objective, verifiable TPC performance data to the industry. Regarding data warehouses, two TPC benchmarks are relevant: |
| + | * [[http://www.tpc.org/tpcds/|TPC-DS]], the Decision Support Benchmark, which models the decision support functions of a retail product supplier. | ||
| + | * [[http://www.tpc.org/tpcdi/|TPC-DI]], the Data Integration Support Benchmark, which models a typical ETL process that loads a data warehouse. | ||
| - | The assignment consist of 2 parts: | + | The project of the course consist of 2 parts: |
| + | * Part I: Implement the TPC-DS benchmark (deadline 1/11/2018) | ||
| + | * Part II: Implement the TPC-DI benchmark (deadline 20/12/2018) | ||
| + | You will have free choice to use the tools on which the two benchmarks will be built. For example, the TPC-DS benchmark could be implemented on SQL Server Analysis Services, Pentaho Analysis Services (aka Mondrian), etc. Similarly, the TPC-DI could be implemented on SQL Server Integration Services, Pentaho Data Integration, Talend Data Studio, SQL scripts, etc., which then load the data warehouse on a DBMS such as SQL Server, Oracle, PostgreSQL, etc. | ||
| - | * Part I: Create a conceptual model and translate to a logical schema (deadline 15/11/2018) | + | The project is carried out in groups of 3 to 4 people, which will be the same for the two parts. Before you can submit part I of the project, you will have to register in a group. For registering a group send an email to the lecturer. Please to select your group before or on 1/10/2018.

| - | * Predicting how the size of the data warehouse will grow over time, | + | |
| - | * Deploy a data cube on top of the data warehouse and create a report. | + | |
| - | Assignment part I will be available on 25/10. For the next parts, assignment II will become available right after the submission deadline of assignment part I. The submission deadlines for parts I and II are strict. | + | The deliverables expected for each part of the project are the following: |
| + | * A report in pdf explaining the essential aspects of your implementation, and | ||
| + | * A zip file containing the code of your implementation, with all necessary instructions to be able to replicate your implementation by the lecturer. | ||
| - | The assignment evaluation will count for 30% of your total grade. This may seem undervalued, however, putting effort in the assignment will definitely help you in achieving a better understanding of the course material which will result in a better score in the paper exam which amounts for 70% of the grade. | + | The project evaluation will count for 30% of your total grade.
