The - location with VLDB is very important as the topic of the workshop was centered on different aspects in the lifecycle of business intelligence on very large enterprise-wide operational real-time data sets. In today s competitive and highly dynamic environment, analyzing data to und- stand how the business is performing, to predict outcomes and trends, and to improve the effectiveness of business processes underlying business operations has become critical.

The end goal is to improve the enterprise performance by better and timelier decision making, enabled by the availability of up-to-date, high-quality information."
