Data Warehouse Requirements Engineering

Is the first book to focus on the issue of data warehouse requirements engineering and provides a method that covers all aspects, from requirements to multi-dimensional/star schema design.

Clearly identifies the differences and similarities between requirements engineering in data warehouse and that in traditional software/information systems.

Expands the scope of data warehousing from addressing business process optimization to other decisional issues, namely, formulating policies and formulating policy enforcement rules.

Naveen Prakashobtained his doctoral degree from the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (IIT Delhi) in 1980. He subsequently worked at the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Mumbai and at the National Center for Software Development and Computing Techniques, Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (NCSDCT, TIFR) before joining the R&D group of CMC Ltd where he worked for over 10 years doing industrial R&D. In 1989, he moved to academics. He worked at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur (IIT Kanpur), and at the Delhi Institute of Technology (DIT) (now Netaji Subhas Institute of Technology (NSIT)), Delhi. During this period he provided consultancy services to Asian Development Bank and African Development Bank projects in Sri Lanka and Tanzania, respectively, as well as to the Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts (IGNCA) as a United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) consultant. He served as a scientific advisor to theBritish Council Division, New Delhi and took up the directorship of various educational institutes in India. Post-retirement, he worked on a World Bank project in Malawi.

Professor Prakash has lectured extensively in various universities abroad. He is on the editorial board of the Requirements Engineering Journal, and of the International Journal of Information System Modeling and Design (IJISMD). He has published over 70 research papers and authored two books.

Prof. Prakash continues to be an active researcher. Besides Business Intelligence and Data Warehousing, his interests include the Internet-of-things and NoSQL database. He also lectures at the Indira Gandhi Delhi Technical University forWomen (IGDTUW), Delhi.

Deepika Prakashobtained her Ph.D. from Delhi Technological University, Delhi in the area of Data Warehouse Requirements Engineering. Currently, she is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Big Data Analytics, Central University of Rajasthan, Rajasthan.

Dr. Prakash has five years of teaching experience, as well as two years of experience in industrial R&D, building data marts for purchase, sales and inventory and in data mart integration. Her responsibilities spanned the complete life cycle, from requirements engineering through conceptual modeling to extract-transform-load (ETL) activities.

As a researcher, she has authored a number of papers in international forums and has delivered invited lectures at a number of Institutes throughout India. Her current research interests include Business Intelligence, Health Analytics, and the Internet-of-Things.
