  ABSTRACT: . A data warehouse stores materialized views derived from one or more sources for the purpose of efficiently implementing decisionsupport or OLAP queries. One of the most important decisions in designing a data warehouse is the selection of materialized views to be maintained at the warehouse. The goal is to select an appropriate set of views that minimizes total query response time and/or the cost of maintaining the selected views, given a limited amount of resource such as materialization time, storage space, or total view maintenance time. In this article, we develop algorithms to select a set of views to materialize in a data warehouse in order to minimize the total query response time under the constraint of a given total view maintenance time. As the above maintenance-cost view-selection problem is extremely intractable, we tackle some special cases and design approximation algorithms. First, we design an approximation greedy algorithm for the maintenance-cost view-...
