Swarm Intelligence Based Data Mart Maintenance

Data mart is the concise and user specific version of data warehouse. It is basically a confined data warehouse for manipulator to access data of his interest. The data within data mart is used to make strategic decision which relies severely on the accurate repossession of details. Therefore it is essential to brush up the data mart periodically so that the end user gets updated and accurate information. To accomplish this purpose, an efficient and effective method is required for optimizing the process of maintenance. This paper presents an algorithm to maintain the data mart using ant colony optimization. This algorithm uses the concept of clustering and meta-heuristic techniques to maintain and search the element in the data mart. The paper discusses the proposed algorithm for protein data bank and shows the effectiveness of the algorithm to maintain the data mart. The searching time is the main issue of concern. The technique described in the paper reduces the search time effectively
