GAINS-BI: business intelligent approach for greenhouse gas and air pollution interactions and synergies information system
Abstract
The Greenhouse Gas and Air Pollution Interactions and Synergies (GAINS)-Model is studied and developed to provide a consistent framework for the analysis of co-benefits reduction strategies from air pollution and greenhouse gas sources. In this paper we introduced a BI approach, namely GAINS-BI, applied as a further development of the GAINS model. In this context,the GAINS-BI conceptual model, including GAINS-BI architecture and concepts, is specified based on a sound mathematical models used for calculate emission and costs. Hereafter, a multidimensional data model, e.g. activity, emission and cost data cubes, has been studied and introduced to represent specific multidimensional analysis requirements of greenhouse gas and air pollution application domains. To proof of concepts, some implementation results have been presented.
