The project MISTRAL (Multidimensional Indexes
for Storage and for the Relational Algebra)
investigates the improvement of the operations of the relational
algebra with multidimensional index structures.
The MISTRAL-Project has ended! We are not maintaining this site
anymore!
In the project, the following topics have been considered:
- basic research in the field of multidimensional index
structures
- implementation, benchmarking and refinement of the UB-Tree
- provision of a software library with the UB-Tree
functionality
- implementation of the relational operations using the UB-Tree
- development of a methodology for the design of schemata with
multidimensional
indexes
With our technology we aim to accelerate the operations of
databases in general. In co-operation with our project partners
SAP, Teijin System Technology, NEC, Hitachi, GfK, TransAction
Software, and Microsoft Research we currently focus on data
warehousing, data mining and the integration of the UB-Tree into
the kernel of relational database management systems. TransBase
Hypercube, the first commercial RDBMS with UB-Tree support, is now
available.
